Originally unfinished however stainless or cad has been accepted. For the picky person, the shape of the pins that are commercially available today do not mimic the original pin shape.

I like the stainless steel ones. Sparkly and rustless is good.

I know that some of the sizes are not commonly available (especially the 5/8" lengths), but is there a picture of what the originals looked like?
