As early as 1907, Tobin Arms Manufacturing company introduced their "Black Diamond" with a "Pyro-Oxidized Black" finish on frame, side-plates and trimmings.
A bit later Baker Gun & Forging Co. replaced their Batavia line with their Black Beauty & Black Beauty Special and also the frames of many of their SBTs were black gun metal finish.
