Chrome plating and other unusual finishes.
Red Hooker replied to H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619's topic in SASS Wire
In "Sixguns", Elmer Keith mentions a copper-plated SAA he traded for. The previous owner had traded his red-headed "wife" for it. As copper is an underlayer in the nickel-plating process, it may be that the nickel wore off. However, how it could have worn off so completely that Elmer didn't notice any remaining traces of nickel, or places where both nickel and copper wore off, I don't know. Maybe it was copper-plated. -

Hate to burst your bubble, but what you have is, indeed, a Belgian knock-off. Westley Richards guns are always signed just that way, "Westley Richards", in full, no "W." It has English proofs because it was sold in England. If no Belgian proofs, probably imported as parts and assembled in "Old Blighty". Pics of proof marks?
