Actually it is both depending on the year it was made. But the poster had a lot of misinformation in the listing...... For one the parts were nickle plated and not chrome. Secondly they did this all through production of the machines from before the war to mid to late 50's. The Blackened parts on this machine were done like weapons they were blued. If you try to polish these parts the color will rub off and then they will be shiny again. This is a nice machine but it is not worth what he is asking for it. I have found these machines for a lot less in just as good if not better condition. And there were several different models that they did this to including the Featherweights.
