Hello Gents!

I have just acquired a nice little Hopkins & Allen Dictator spur hammer in .32 RF with original birds-head grips and it's finish settling into a warm brown patina with a brass front sight. This one also looks like it was never nickle plated.

Where all Hopkins & Allen revolver's nickel plated? In doing research, 99% of what I see in the Hopkins & Allen pocket revolvers are nickle.
But I can't find this exact version like the one pictured.

Anymore factoids on this piece would be much appreciated!

Thanks for any help.
