[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 2503575, member: 77249"] It looks like a contamination of some type of Sulphur component. Even some lubes used in pipe threading has a Sulfur component in it. If the water they used to make the cleaning solution with was contaminated with some sulfur component may have been the cause. In making antique brass items, A compound called liver of sulfur, A powder, Is mixed with water and brushed on the brass. Makes brass turn Raven black. Then you buff out the highlights you want. If the box wasn't sealed I would say someone cleaned a muzzleloader shooting black powder, Cleaning water got on the brass. [/QUOTE]
