GEM 1912 & Micromatic Plating?

[Rocketeer]

Would appreciate if someone can tell me what the GEM 1912 and Micromatic razors (pictured below) are plated with ... silver? nickel? chrome?

Thanks in advance.

The 1912 is Nickel, the Micromatic is a bit more difficult - some are chrome plated (later ones), some are nickel plated and one I've just done this week was mostly nickel but the turning knob was chrome!

I'd say the one you have pictured is either the nickel ot nickel and chrome turning knob variety. The chrome ones tend to have a rounded turning knob or plastic turning knob.

hope this helps
