Default '31 Horn Button Trim Ring

I'm ready to send out my 1931 light switch, gas and spark rods for nickel plating. The horn button trim ring appears to be chrome plated. Should it be chrome or nickel plated?

Both the lever and horn button were chrome plated, all spark and throttle rods were bright nickel plated. in 1930-31 the horn button was bakelite and the switch lever and horn bezel (retaining ring) were nickel plated as per JS.

Thanks Gary, I totally forgot about checking the judging standards.
