Some years back, I purchased a Pre-Dog Victor R. It came with a reproduction crank that was painted black. Did the Victor R's come with an oxidized crank, or were they nickel? Was the crank escutcheon also oxidized or nickel? I want to make sure I get the right parts to complete my machine

Harvey,
from my experience the crank is nickel and the escutcheon is oxidized.

Thanks Larry, The escutcheon on mine is oxidized, Now I'll remove the black paint off of my crank. Thanks for the info.
