finishes for traditional

[lostvaquero]

By plated I take that as nickle plated?  What about stainless steel? Or close enough to representing nickle?

[Boggus Deal]

Nickel is fine. So is stainless. Pretty much any finish is legal as long as it doesn’t offer grip enhancement.

Traditional 1911s for WB have several finish choices; here's the exact rule that applies:

 

The finish on Traditional pistols varies from polished blue to very matted parkerizing. All these finishes are legal. Pistols may be plated or painted.

  WB Shooters Handbook, version 12.2  Page 5.

 

So, as BD has said earlier, nickel plated and stainless finish guns are certainly allowed in Traditional.  Plating means with any metal - golden guns are allowed.

 

Sights have to be either black, blue or stainless.

 

Any combination of blue, black, or stainless (natural colored) steel sights are legal.

Forgotten Weapons did a really cool video explaining damascene. I'd never have enough patience to do it, but it's the real deal.
