bought this on ebay... I'm not sure how many coats of paint it had on it, but I counted at least 4 or 5 different colors. lye tank removed most of it, and rather quickly.

any ideas how these looked when sold new? I assume they weren't bare iron? at one point in stripping paint I noticed gold accents on the ridge of the center piece and a couple of other spots... that would be pretty striking.. a nice solid color then gold on the angled center piece and maybe on the numerals...and the text on the bottom... I'm open to suggestions.
