WW2 antenna wire color?

Groovy.  I have a bunch of medium gray sprue scraps that sounds like they'll work fine.

Thanks guys!

I concur with the steel or copper.  Shorter ones may have been solid wire, longer ones stranded.  The steel ones weathered to a medium gray, copper ones to a grayish brown.  If I use regular stranded thread I just use a gray or brown thread. If I use monofilament I color it with marker pen.  Antennas should never be stark white or black.

I've been around quite a few long wire antennas in the Army. Those were usually made from a braided wire around a core of nylon or other fiber line. The braided wires are usually either copper or silver colored metal. Considering the age of some of the antenna wire systems that I handled, I doubt that they evolved much since WWII. The manuals were only a few years past WWII... Lol!

Most likely galvanized steel, or Magnesium maybe? I use EZ line, and it comes in a charcoal gray color.
