I thought original finish on reflectors was silver. Silver has the highest reflectance of all metals at something like 98%. I think it is quite likely that you got nickel because that is the second step in high quality triple chrome plating; the first being copper and the last, chrome. Your plating shop probably didn't have a silver tank. Most of the nickel plate I have seen has been on coal and wood stove trim. To give you an indication of how long ago I had reflectors re-silvered, I paid $5 per each on a pair of Graham Brothers Truck lights. Must have been in the '70s
