Case Stag question

[fergusontd]

I've been eyeing a new old stock Case Trapper ($50) at a 2nd hand store. The question is that it has a little green tint (possibly coroseion?) on the stag around the brass pins, can any of you Case experts let me know if this is normal or not! ftd

I once had a Case stag knife that had greenish tint at the bolsters.. I deducted that if it were normal to the stag (not corrosion) , it would be green away from any metal.. presuming it was corrosion, it would continue to worsen, hence i marketed this unit to another collector...

I have several knives through the years where the stag has a greenish tint in places. It has never really alarmed me as I always figured that the knife was not wiped off at regular intervals although it is in my opinion, not an expert, less than ideal.
My experience with the so called "new old stock" knives has been even more less than ideal. I kind of equate the term with "warehouse find" and am very wary.
