The value of a gun is based on exact make, model and condition. Those guns were not originally nickel plated, and will have lost most of their collector's value. You would need an in person exam of the pistol for an accurate answer.

No, because a plated metal is not a mixture of elements.
based on serial number of an original colt SAA, 172596 was made about 1898........
Use a magnet. If the gun is nickel plated, a magnet will stick to it.
