Series 70's in nickel finish have become pricey, I've been seeing them in the Gun List for around $900-950. If its in good shape, you may do better to sell it and get just what your looking for and some change. I had my Combat Commander hard chromed. I like it a lot, but its not cheap. Mine ran $200 to have the Commander done. Its well worth the money as its a hard wearing finish, but it will still wear and can rust if not re-oiled after degreasing. Eventually, it will "polish" on the wear points from your holster. Even so, its stopped my rusting problems from summer carry, and I wouldnt hesitate to have another gun done if needed.
