Calling the copper dial experts

Art, sorry to contradict. You overlooked an important detail on the dial you showed: there are silvery metal dots at the uneven hours and there is a metallic "pearl minute track". So bright hands (white gold plated? rhodium plated?) make sense.

Why are you adverse to the thought (heat) blued hands are correct on a copper dial? I have seen them on an Omega at a major auction house (don´t recon which, I have only saved the photo as I liked the dial):

And here is one from my collection. I have found only a photo of the dial on my HD, the watch is in my bank vault atm.:

Both watches with cal. 30 T2

Here very aged blued hands on a cal. 23.4 Scarab... The minute hand has lost most of its blue colour but you can still see it on the hour hand:

Thanks to Google search, here's copper dial from the same era . . .

. . . with blued hands all around. The likelihood of the original poster's MI 2214 having correct hands has gone up significantly.
