Its zinc chromate. Remember, we're talking '60s technology here. Zinc 
chromate forms an actual   chemical bond to metals, almost like galvanizing so 
most paint strippers won't touch it. When the original Campagnolo casting 
company in Italy was still in business, Pete Coltrin wrote a very good article 
on their processes for one of the now-defunct sportscar magazines. Campy 
finally went out of business, Technomagnesio bought the name, then a few years 
later, that also fell apart and I think someone else restarted Campy once 
more a while ago. The funny thing is, the separate bicycle part of Campagnolo 
never had a problem and are- I think- still making derailleurs etc....
