Ask your local gunsmiths if they could get them plated for you with their next batch of bits they send out... I bet you're pleasantly surprised with both the results, and the "cost" of tagging along...
I'm looking at mine now and I never would have thought "Hmm, this was nickel plated." Makes sense now that you point it out, though.
