I have a model 57-1.
ser # AUC20##
Is this stainless or nickle?
I thought the stainless were 6## series in the S&W scheme.
It is NOT pinned or recessed like my blue M57.... so it has gotten me a little curious.
One one hand I know nickle plating went out a while back, yet this one is not numbered 657. It clearly is stamped mod. 57-1
To me it seems to be a little brighter than other stainless guns I have seen. But not owning one to compare with it..it has me wondering.
So what do you guys say?

EDIT: I have figured out that it is nickle.....was represented as stainless...now I know that part anyhow.
