Tank 13 - I left this one plain. The engravings are too small and fine for flooding with black paint, and maybe it was never there.
It was there. Not black paint but the finish. The 1927 Stock Record Book shows a clear image of Tank 13 showing finish on the sides with the text "Engraved enameled and antique finished".
I think it looks fine as is. I have a Strap 88, one with the original antique finish and one where someone removed it. Looks like completely different models. I left it as is.
There are several YouTube vids showing how to do chemical oxidations and antique finishes on precious metals.
