Celuloid dye

Does anyone know what was used to dye the spots in the bolsters like on the CMON Special razor and FW Engels razors.

I got a CMON special a while ago and in getting all the pits out of the scales the red dye was removed. I would really like to be able to add it back. So does anyone know what to use to add it back.
 
It didn't look or feel like paint. When I was sanding it was acting and looking more like some sort of dye. But if we cant figure it out I already thought about using thin coat of enamel paint. I just want to make it look as close to original as possible.
 
This is one I have done with enamel paint but only around the M the P & J was fine

It is electro-plating I bought a plating business out with all his gear, just to do my own plating work and it has come in handy never thought I would end up plating my own razors....

But it would take to long to try to tell you how its done.......
