Long Tom was a name used by Sears Roebuck for shotguns made by Crescent- mainly 1930s time frame. Am not aware of any that were factory nickel plated. Values are typically in the $75-$100 range. Please note- older 16 g guns used a 2 9/16th inch shell. Even though they will chamber, these guns should NOT fire modern 2 3/4 inch shells.
You will have to call S&W
That's going to depend. If the nickel plating was done on any official basis, such as creating a rifle for ceremonial guard duties, it could be worth several thousand Dollars. However, if the nickel plating was done aftermarket after the rifle was taken out of military service and released to the public, it's going to depreciate the value of the rifle considerably.
I suspect it is nickel or chrome plated since S&W never made a stainless revolver in that caliber. Would need to know all of the markings on your gun to answer the question.
Nothing, because it doesn't exist. The Model 16 was chambered for 32 Long.
These are highly collectable guns, HOWEVER- collector's value is based on exact make, model CONDITION and ORIGINALITY. The only specimens of these I have seen were blued, not nickel. If the nickel is original, value may run as high as $800- $1000. If it has been refinished (plated at a later time) value may be $100-$200. This will need a hands on appraisal from someone that knows antique firearms. Difference in value between a 95% gun and a 90% gun is significant.
I don't have the answer for you, but I have the same pistol with a later serial number 451430. My dad told me years ago that he was given the gun during the depression for a tank of gas while working at his brother's service station.

Most stainless steel contains nickel, but studies have shown that it does not cause contact dermatitis since the nickel is basically bound as a part of the alloy. As long as it isn't nickel plated it should be fine.Here is a link to a study that researched this exact question.See Related Links
