Dave... Sharpies are used in conservation circles to replace black color on
metallic objects as a temporary fix. The ink is alcholol soluble, so if you
repeatedly soak the offending area with a dampened sponge or rag, you
should be able to draw out the ink. Maybe not every bit, but quite a lot of
it.
