Need Black NS Butt Cap

I need one of these to match a Struble black nickle silver winding and don't want to pay more for shipping than for the butt plug. Can anybody help me out?

Marty,

I use a blackening agent called "Nickel Silver Oxiddizer, Original Formula", I am sure it is available from someone on the board. I got mine from Robert Venneri.
If you need an end cap blackened, I can do that for you if needed.

So it's regular nickle silver blackened on the outside, and not a modified alloy that is a different color throughout?
Related question - is Titanium Carbide about the same color as the black NS?

Marty,

I find that by varying the time I leave the piece in the formula, I can get pretty dark to almost black or I can stop at titanium look. As far as I know, all black nickel is treated and not solid black.
