Thanks for all of the information everyone. A friend of mine looked at it recently and did say it may have been some type of nickel or chrome plating. I believe that his reasoning was that it looks like the inside of the slide was copper plated. I know very little about the finish on guns so I don't know if that would actually matter or not though. For now I don't think I'll refinish it just in case. It has a little wear but nonetheless looks good to me the way it is. The main reason I like it is because of the history anyway.
