Default 32 3W male door dovetail finish

What is the finish on 32 3W male door dovetails? I searched "The 1932 Ford Book", cant find it. Thanks

Dave, First, Thanks for the quick answer. Second, where is it in the book? I looked, didn't find it. Thanks, again.

Tom,

It may not be there per se, but it is implied in the hardware catalog portion of the Appendix (page A-11-7) and consistent with survivors and lots of NOS ones. After '32 they seem to have a shinier finish, at least through the '37s.

I'll add it to the next addendum on the Club website.
