I had a nickel 29-2 for many years. The finish is actually very durable. It will show scuffs and scratches, but mine never flaked or wore off.
Nice looking gun.
Thsnks, Esrlyagaim. The 4" nickel 29-2 I bought a few months ago had some scratches and a couple smudges. The cylinder would hardly open, it was so filthy. Using Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish, it took all but one scratch out, including the turn line, and all but one smudge. Amazing. My reluctance to buy nickel guns is over.
