I know I was stunned when Claudio sent me the pics yesterday morning. Never would have believed it. CJO may have had an inkling there would be some but even he was surprised by how much appeared.

And Joe, as noted in the Sauer thread of a few days ago, I have a Sauer side lock from about 1895 as well. I hadn't planned on it but it will be going in the ultrasonic bath to see what appears on its surface. As you described yours, mine is the typical uniform silver grey.

BTW, I would like to make it clear, it is CJO who is doing the work. Not me. I'm hamfisted and save my efforts for wall hangers.
