Is it painted (enameled finish)? Is it a black brass alloy? I searched the 'Must Reads' but did not find the answer briant Member Username: briant Post Number: 100 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Thursday, February 07, 2008 - 3:55 pm:    I believe it is like a chroming/plating technique. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 5113 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, February 07, 2008 - 5:19 pm:    Blackened brass is a black nickel oxide plating technique. Recently, the plater has added a hardened clear coating, which makes the color a deeper black. Previously, it was more of a gunmetal color. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 6152 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 07, 2008 - 5:25 pm:    The only reference I've found here states that it is plated. Thanks Mica!! (Message edited by davehouck on February 07, 2008)
