Does anyone know if these little 25 cals were done in nickle or just blue.? And what would be a fair price to pay for 1 in xcellent condition? Its nickle plated. Thanx.....ib

Not impossible for it to be factory nickel, but improbable. If determined to be original (and examination under a jeweler's loupe would tell the tale) a pocket-pistol collector would go $300 plus. If not original, half that.

Look at the edges of the lettering and the sharp edges of the slide, etc, for evidence of polishing.

I'd add that if the nickel is pretty much 100%, it's also very likely that it's not original, since the pistol is probably about 80 years old!
