Painted scabbard shell says it's more likely the early nickel silver version. The other way to check if the 2nd type is nickel silver or plated steel just looking at the pictures is to see the SS proof stamp (which unfortunately is not pictured here). The one used on nickel silver chains is different than one used on 2nd model steel chains (BTW. the 1st model has totally different proofmark as well). Anyway, it was a SUPER bargain, you're lucky guy.
