Re: Black oxide coating
40 years ago, before I knew any better, I sanded down the case of my Bell No 1A and applied light oak polyurethane varnish, then polished the black gongs back to bare brass.
A little earlier than that I did the same to my late father's antique microscope, but the years are slowly growing the patina back.
