you know, what always makes me think when I see something like this is the story of the 1902 Fat Barrel that Bob told us
- that the family wanted to make it more 'saleable' and they polished and turned it with swirls on it...
- I wonder if they just had it reblued to make it 'pretty'.

Not just a Fat Barrel, but a Cartridge Counter!

You can still see pitting, in spite of 1/4 of the metal being polished away!

Must have been one of those test luger used in the "corrosion"
part of the tests.
