De-rusted with phosphoric acid(naval jelly) = the color you describe.

Without pictures it didn't happen!

Hi Don, I felt that a full blown text would be at the discretion of the owner, as it was just submitted for repair and not really in my wheel house for publication...

... but, it was definitely plated, as it was the same on the layered parts inside the mainspring cup... It was the same zinc type of plating found on the .22 conversion box parts.... I agree, I should have taken pics, maybe I can talk the owner into doing so... best to you, til...lat'r.....GT....
