Subject: [CR]Bluemel Airweight mudguard finish question

I'm getting my '41 Bates ready for the Cirque.

It has aluminum Bluemel Airweight fenders/mudguards. Did these Bluemels have a shiny or a satin finish originally? The fenders are in good shape, but It is difficult to tell what the original finish was. If they had a lightly brushed/satin finish, I don't want to give them a high polish w/ Simichrome.

Thanks,
