[i][i]- The green "verdigri" was applied artificially in my opinion: it appears naturally only when metals get in long term contact with leather, typically on vertical SS hangers for example. But why would there be "verdigri" on the eagle and on the guards?[/i][/i]

I have seen in 50 years a few instances of small amounts of the green stuff on parts of a crossguard or eagle. Not many, but a few.[i][/i]
