stripping nickle?

[philinindy]

Sorry if this has been covered before but I'm new here. Found this site referenced on Jouster.com. I've got some parade bayonets that I can't seem to sel. Apparently no one wants nickle plated bayonets. What would be the best way to strip the nickle off these so I can parkerize them. Thanks for any and all input.

By using an acid pickle made from diluted battery acid and a stainless steel or lead sheet, you can reverse plate the nickel. This technique is described in detail in our plating manual.
