What to look for to determine re-furbishing

It does not hurt being over-suspicious at the beginning. After accumulating a bunch of them, telling reblue/original finish is not that hard on most of them. This experience build-up process is fun as well. Not a Nambu collector, but that must apply to Nambu as well.

The finish is rust blue on this one. The seller might not describe it correctly. But it's rust blue and this one should be rust blued. Looks ok to me, except the grip is too dark to tell on the photo. If interested, this one worth paying the seller for hand-on checking.
