You don't think patina is decent looking? Hmmmm? Beauty is to the eye and sometimes hands (if they're real lucky) of the beholder.

That's not patina, that's called a battleworn finish. And a really well done one, too.
Man of steel - Kahr T9, SP101, 1911
Me and my buddy were in his back yard, digging a hole to put his dog in. We unearthed a cap gun revolver in simular shape. He said he remember burying that thing about 45 years earlier.
The dog was not alive by the way.

Hey jeep, I'm sure you're old enough to remember, "That's my Line". And my MO.
You're right, battleworn would be a better way to state it. Still though the collector's want them as found.
I lost a cap gun like that about 60 years ago. Wasn't until much later that it dawned on me that my brother probably took it.
