This will probably start an argument, To the best of my memory the housing was Zinc plated (silver ) however the cylinder part was not plated in fact imost of the time was not painted

Yes I believe the housing is all zinc/ silver and the cylinder was unpainted, and after 40 years with a nice rusty glow. :D
