Charles Parker certainly owned enough factories and sold myriad plated products that if an order for a nickel plated gun was received it could have been filled without any problem.
Many contemporary guns of the period could be ordered with a nickel finish so its not far fetched to imagine that someone might order a plated Parker and the request honored for a price.
Imagine the possibility and not the usual experience.

PS How original is the rest of the gun? That should be considered a factor when evaluating the originality of the plating.
