Is there anywhere around South La that will nickel plate firearms? My brother is a huge James Bond fan so were are looking to give him a nickel plated Tokarev like used in the movie Goldfinger.
Apw cogan does good work. They are in Alabama, I think, so you'd have to ship it. You should consider hard chrome as it looks the same but is much harder and more durable.
I really do not know the pros and cons of each type of coating. In my immediate family we have 5 tokarevs so its not like this gun will be beat on. However I do want the finish to last a lifetime.
