Spanky,
Yes. the metal parts are all intact. The lenses are shattered and the rubber (or leather) gaskets below them are fried (of course). If there was any rubber around the lens itself, that's all gone too. But the metal is good.
Mine is an early 1945. As far as I can tell it never had ANY chrome. Not even on window cranks and such. It was clearly made for work and made in a time of patriotic self sacrifice. With that in mind, it seems almost disrespectful to its history and to the WW-II era in general to put any chrome on it. (my personal soap box. Sorry)
