There are no references of nickel plating being done at Hunter Arms, however one gentleman on the L.C. Smith site can attest that he saw an L.C. Smith nickel plated by Ithaca Gun Co. when he visited them and that they stated this work was done by them. Hunter's policy stated that you could get anything within reason.

This gun is a 1927 Ideal Grade and it certainly looks nickel plated as the engraving is still sharp and not rolled by buffing.


So with any L.C. Smiths never say never.
