Were sights, levers, hammers, and barrel bands nickeled on verified nickeled 94 carbines?

Possibly. Winchester offered various levels of Nickel plating.

Any way to verify factory nickle on guns post 300k?
How much post 300 ? What is the serial number on the gun in question?

I believe this is the 94 in question. It is on a facebook group and the owner states ”1937 model 94 factory nickel plated .32 Winchester special”.
I highly doubt his statement about it being factory work. 
A man can never have too many WINCHESTERS...

I also highly doubt it. The butt stock on that Carbine has been harshly sanded and refinished. The odds of a late pre-WW II (Depression era) standard Carbine being factory nickeled plated are very high against it.

I agree. I also have to question the rear sight being nickled. Was this a thing? Ever seen this Bert? He says it’s factory because Glen Simpson says so. Any idea who Glen Simpson is?
