Can someone tell me what finishes the MicroMatics came in originally? I suspect nickel and gold. I also suspect that the gold plate was thin and weak which leads to so many MicroMatics having the brass look. Did they ever release a plain brass MicroMatic?
Thanks in advance!

HoosierTrooper pretty much solved this one on TSD. I believed them originally not to be gold plated at all because there was no trace of any plating at all but they were. Around the time of the Bullet Tips they began plating the gold over nickel. Before they plated gold directly over brass and it pretty much just washed off. That is why Gold Bullet Tips are easy to find while MMOCs with any trace of gold plating are exceedingly rare.
