Hi Jerry,
Player keyslips are in two pieces as you described.  The front slip is usually
hinged with SOSS hinges (invisible).  When idle for a long time they tend to
freeze in position.  

For re-blackening sharps I steel wool them to remove dirt and grease, dye them
with _black_ leather dye.  When they have dried I spray a couple coats of Deft
Clear Satin.
