In Need of Nickel Plating services

[Jason60chev]

Hello All,
Through my gunsmith, Ford's plating, in Springhill, Fl, is nickel plating a repro Remington New Model Pocket revolver and conversion
cylinder for me. However, I've been told that they have declined to nickel plate the two powder flasks that I sent.

Do any of y'all know of a business who will nickel plate a couple of powder flasks?

Will be using these in a cased set with three nickeled Remington Firearms.

Thank you,

Jason

Have you thought about contacting a jeweler ? If they don’t plate, they might know someone who does.

I made the assumption that the business who is plating my firearm would also plate the flasks!
But have learned that they declined to do so.

The base metals are entirely different.

What does that have to do with anything? Not like they have to be plated in the same solution or even by the same process.
I just wanted them plated. I didn’t care how.

are the flasks soldered ? solder may not take the plating

A jewler may use an entirely different process. In other words, where your gun is may be a more tranditional plating service. Such as what you would use to get your motorcycle handlebars plated. May not be the same as the what a jewler does. It's worth a shot.

Maybe give the plater in Florida a call and ask them why not. May have a good reason.
