Does magic item hardness remain in an anti-magic zone?
Making an item magical increases its hardness, but is that a permanent change to the item or is it tied to the continued operation of the magical aura? If a magical item is inside an anti-magic field, does the extra hardness remain?

The nearest I can find to an answer is in the Rules Compendium (p.11):

If the hardness increase is a benefit of the process of enchanting an item, that's definitely on point.
The hardening spell (SpC p 109) is a permanent Transmutation spell. Would the effects be reversed in an anti-magic field? If so, would they return once the anti-magic field ceased to exist?
Wall of stone creates a permanent wall of stone. Would it cease to exist in an anti-magic field? If yes, would it re-appear once the anti-magic field was no longer?
If folks have anything on point about this I would really appreciate it, as it's about to become an issue in an ongoing campaign.

It would be reversed in an AMF:

It would return afterwards though:
