Cool, thanks for the correction/verification. That makes sense. The steel bodies rumor must have been one of those old wives' tales, probably because of the color. I was never entirely sure if true or not, and never bothered enough to verify.
Regardless, they are extremely tough levers compared to most of the competitors of the time. .
