Due to the close tolerances of the working parts, its best to purchase a handgun that is already nickel plated. This would be guaranteed by the manufacturer to work properly. If one was determined to nickel-plate a pistol that wasn't made that way, submitting the gun to a person who specializes in nickel-plating firearms.
Without more of a description; 10-150 USD
No, because a plated metal is not a mixture of elements.
probably some time after it was made. the military model was not nickel plated.

brand new it would be worth 750$.
