Don, I have other L.C.'s where the cc is worn and it doesn't look like this. If it was polished, the engraving is still sharp. Also Hunter Arms had a process to weatherprooof the receivers, I don't think anybody knows what it looks like.
Chuck, earlier in my career we had a small plating set up and I did some plating, zinc, nichol, etc. and I nichol plated some parts and yes the nichol does have a yellowish cast, but after 80 years, what would it look like?
The dark spot is just a shadow.
