The closeup of the Winchester logo shows some significant corrosion. There
are a lot of old mining sites where they left the equipment and tools back
in the late 1800's and the stuff doesn't look any worse.


Some one, Oren?, posted a close-up video and maybe it has sat out there
for over 100 years. It looked a lot more aged than in the photo.
