I'm trying to replace the magnifier arm on an Elliott Bros. box sextant. Most methods seemed hazardous.

I finally tried hanging it in a sealed jar over an ammonia soaked paper towel but the results didn't match the original.

I improved on the color in the photo by rubbing and oiling but it's still a greenish color.

Any suggestions on how to get a matching color?
