Both of the crosses That I posted show signs of the cores being
IMO chemically treated. In my photo that started this thread,
you can see remnants of the black paint in the outer corners of
the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock arms. The core is brown but you can
on the high points of the "W" and the crown when bare metal is
showing through. Whatever / however it was treated, it is a very thin
layer. It does show any signs of flaking off like paint would.
My AWS type2 has a non-magnetic core and has large areas where
the paint has flaked of.
