Buck 110 questions.

[randucci]

I received this old Buck 110 through a relative and am wondering what is the best way to mostly remove the verdigris and keeping the aged look of the brass?

Also, what is the approximate mfg date and the value of it?

Thanks, Tim.

A light buff with Brasso or other jewellery polishing stuff will remove the verdigris but also the aged look, but in a few weeks or months the brass will discolour again.

You might also use some furniture oil on the wood. 2-3 light coats will soak in nicely.
Is that a dot next to the zero ?

Yes, there is a small dot on each side of the 110.

Yeah.
I'd clean it up. I think it's going be hard to clean the green stuff without polishing it.

Your 110 was sometime around 1974. Best you look at eBay's completed sales for value. Yours has little collector value because of condition but it is very useable as a knife the sentimental value depending on your relative's relationship.

I do Flitz with a microfiber cloth

Gun oil will remove the green...

A little dab will do ya
