    Not according to the Webley pistols book, I have a couple and thought that one was factory but It burst my bubble when I read through parts of the book to find it wasn't an option

    Did all the linkages etc fit back together ok after the nickel process ?

    They look very nice!
    Maybe on special request? I may not have been a standard option and thus not mentioned as such in the Webley book.
    But Webley díd make other pistols in nickel-finish I believe so its not impossible.

    No Premiers were produced by Webley in either Nickel or Chrome finishes. Any such finishes, and I have seen a couple of very good examples, are all after market.
