silver plated brass--oxidized as it was
being applied! Sometimes it was refered
to as, "oxidized gun metal finish" I have
found that grey engine block primer, comes
very close to the coloration, when it is
baked on! The old processes were very
dangerous, as they used the old caustic
method of application! Bert
