at witcomb london, we used to send campagnolo parts to
to plater for black chrome or anondizing, as the case
may be. if these parts got on a bicycle, or were
sold, folks might think they were factory stock.
this was 1972. go figure.

I have some black-oxided Campi front changer cages from the same period as the lister who reported black chainring bolts, black oxide (also known as blue-ing like with firearms) in lieu of chrome looks pretty sharp, i.m.o.
also i.m.o. I find the veracity of any claim of black first gen campi cranks, even back-shop-plated 40 years later.......dubious (but thats just me, being a San Jose native I find most of those Palo Alto posts amusing as heck, but consistently incredulous nonethess)
