The advantage of nickel silver is you skip a plate process, and you don't
have to worry about scratches. We use a few brass shields that are "bright
tin" plated. Not really sure what the spec for "bright" is but when it was
omitted on a PO the parts we got looked like they were galvanized. In
general the look's of the plated parts aren't as good.
