GOTC,
I've got three of the Pietta Marshall Model '51s (two .44s and one .36). I haven't been able to get a definitive reply from Pietta on the finish. What I have gotten from them is that they are a highly polished carbon steel with a hardened finish. Not sure what exactly that means. It's not nickle or stainless but something that is stain and rust resistant. I bought all of mine used, and they have been reliable and fun to shoot. First thing I did to each one was disassemble, deburr & install Treso Nipples.
Here's a picture of the .36
