2. Fescolized Balls, mine are pretty knackered, from a aircraft maintenance engineer's point of view, scratched and pitted.

Chromed I thought .

Good on you Jim, that will help Rick.

Yep, hard chromed, fescolized, original pommy term.Probably to discriminate between normal chrome and "hard" chrome which can be ground.........and probably isn't "chrome" at all. Current ones on the SVX look to be a totally different process, possibly something akin to nitrided after grinding leaving black balls; my SVX has matching black balls :)
