Three new ones from Luzon

Rafngard:

I agree with Detlef. The second one seems to have some old oxidation giving it that darker appearance. Personally I would not clean it any further--just oil it or put some silicone wax on it. If you wanted to take it back to bright steel you could use a mild abrasive in a blasting box or spend a few hours polishing it with progressively finer grit paper. But I think it looks fine as it is--just my personal preference.

Always good to see another Gopher State poster.

Thank you very much for your thoughts on this.

Oh! I didn't know there were any Minnesotans still active. If you're in the Twin Cities, you should let me buy you a beer sometime.

Have fun,
