I believe they were originally nickel plated.
When I was on the hunt to add a Red Tip to my collection this was the nicest example I came across.

Thought it was chromed...
I like to stick to the original finish, but this is looking great!
The... nicest?
In years, here, a found one only! ;(

Thank you. I make my own handles. This one is a walnut handle with a brass ferrule over top of the wood.

Where did you get the brass ferrule?
Looks extremely good!
