Could you take some pics of it??
you say its a chrome shell ( nickle plated) there should be no chrome visible through the Nickle. if there is, its cause the plating process was not working right, or something.
if you see something reddish, its not rust, its copper.
and no, the Black Ice didnt have a stamp on it that I can remember. it did have a lil green sticker. check the radiator roundup in the Reviews section of the site to see a pic of the lil sticker on the Black Ice 1
