Yep, Testors model paint.
How's it done? Roughly painted in and wiped/removed from the ferrule leaving the paint in the recessed letters?

Wet sanded with 800 grit then polished with toothpaste and a wet cloth.
Thank you sir! Ebay is where I look.Amazing brush... well done.
Only wish I could find one round this neck of the woods....
Thank you sir! It's the first I've seen like this, and I doubt many are still around. It was war production stuff, and they didn't care if it wasn't perfect.Fantastic as always, Toby. An amazing artifact and to have survived so long. We read of straights and other razors that are 100+ years old but nary a shaving brush.
Especially interesting is the USMC marking and the way it has been turned i.e a scavenged flat board as you mentioned. Function over form to them but still gorgeous in form to us.
You’ve set yourself a fair old challenge there but we’ve seen your ‘miracles’ before. No walking on water mind…
Very much looking forward to your progress and final results.
