I have been following this thread and noticed there is a great amount of expertise here on things Italian. I have a question you all might be able to answer.

At the Bike Exchange I often find rare or unusual parts in our bins. Sometimes they are worth a bit of money . A while ago I took a pair of Sheffield pedals over to my restoration Guru and he offered to buy them from the Exchange for a fair market value (he is one of the original founders of the exchange). Since then I have been on the lookout and recently found another pair. These are different though . While the others were Stainless? and shiny these are not. They are not rusty. they are just dull grey as seen in the photos. They are definitely Sheffield . if you look closely you can just make out the letters on the end of the pedal surrounding the dust cap.

Anyone have an idea what I have here. Why finish them this way? are they something special or are they cheap?
