Thanks for the photos! They are exactly what I wanted to see.
Frosting types can be confusing and it is starting to look, to me at least, as if several different types and colorations were used by the same manufacturer during the war. It depended, I suppose, on what "look" was trying to be achieved, as well as what was available.
Dietrich mentioned to me at the last OVMS show that he was going to try very seriously to examine (w/SEM, etc.) frosting to see exactly what it was composed of. I saw an RK at that show on which you would, at first glance, have sworn that the frosting was "painted white", but when you looked under magnification, it was really a brilliant silver wash (not etching).
