Nickel was the first as the electro-plating process evolved, and with a long history of tradition it’s still the most popular with its ability to maintain a long-lasting wear and tarnish-resistant finish.
Later on, plating with precious metals also became more important as decorative methods of creating more elaborately-embellished special-order guns. Gunpowder at the time was highly corrosive, and working guns lived hard lives.
Plating in firearms began initially as a method of corrosion-proofing in the days of blackpowder ammunition at least 150 years ago.
