need help stripping a 1912 Erfurt for re-finish

Bill...I have some 0000 steel wool so I tried it with CLP...didn't make a dent in the black coating...pretty sure this isn't our "friendly" RC dip. I also went to Sherwin-Williams and bought a can of the toughest stripper they have...called Super Strip. I did a test area on the frame three times for 1/2 hr each time and then wire brushed with a small brass brush with negligible result. I'll consult again with GT and if we can't think of another solvent to try, it may be blasting time. Steve
