To BobD,
Just in case you haven't run across it yet, nickel silver is a nickel alloy that contains no silver at all. Why it is so named is a mystery. It is also called "German silver" and not only contains no silver but isn't "German" either!
However, my mid-1950s Leblanc has the nickel silver keys and while they get dull, don't really tarnish.
