Here's one that doesn't have the krinkle, crackle, wrinkle or whatever you call it finish. But instead it has a black Duracoat over park to mimic the Suncorite of the British Military sterlings. As below with a carbine:

My Wiselite Sterling has the funky crinkle coat finish. I don't really like it, but I don't hate it enough to refinish it, either.

Nothing wrong with crinkle. Sterling made them that way for export. I have heard that the benefits are less glare, better grip, and better cooling (?).

H-D Black engine paint

Harley-Davidson black engine paint gives a crackle finish and looks a lot like the original Suncorite (sp?) epoxy finish used on the original English Sterlings. It's whats on my Mark IV now. Wears well so far too.
