Patina and Neglect are 2 different things.

Disturbing to say the least.

Gun sales terminology:

"Nice" = junk
"Functions well" = less than 10% jams
"Safe handling marks" = dinged up
"Small freckles" = crap is rusted man
"Patina" = whatever bluing is left after the rust was removed

Patina, pitting
Potato, potahto.........

Little bit of pitina and neglect. These were my great grandfather's. He loaned them out since most folks didn't have a center fire rifle back then in this area. Some of the people wouldn't/ didn't wipe them down while in their possession.

You talking about that Trijicon sight with the severe rash?

Look nice to me

Big difference between a 100 year old gun that was used to put food on the table for a generation or two...

...and a 40 year old gun that was used to break your fall in a saltwater-gravel driveway when you were 14 beers deep and trying to impress your spouse on your kid's rollerskates.

One is "patina", the other "meth".

That meth - that must be some dang good stuff. I mean before people step off into it, they surely see what it does to other people. It makes my head hurt just thinking about even entertaining using it.
