Not sure about the nickel, stainless would probably be in the market price, according to the ones running on the auctions. I just bought one for my daughter from my local dealer, not excellent, about VG-EXC, blue for $175. It had been carried under a car seat and one side of the cylinder had loss of color. I found a new yoke and cylinder on the Net for $45 delivered, making a nice looking gun for $220 That makes yours somewhere in the ball park if you like nickel.
