The ad neglected to say whether the horn is nickel silver or silver plated. My guess, and it's a total guess, is that it's nickel silver and I bet it is a terrific horn.

But there is no such thing as "nickel silver plated", am I right? It would have to be made of nickel silver, and/or plated with silver or nickel.
