Gosh am I in trouble. Brice and I did my R years ago. Brice used to be my paper boy (cute kid) after Jerry Blais quit the route. Well as I recall we started with the original copper base and heated it up and but brown gun bluing on it. After it dried we used an electric draftsman eraser to remove the brown "bluing." It was an easy effect to reproduce. If you screw it up just add the brown back in...A Dremel should do the trick with a mild cutting rouge. Brice jump in here son.... The job was a lot of fun. After about 15-20 years you can hardly tell it wasn't factory. You could chuck a pencil in a drill..! MS
