Tuffram coated Civilians question

[md10mm]

How do I tell if my Civilian is Tuffram coated or not?
This has AL handles with insert But the finish looks like bare AL?? This is the G-2 Stainless one..
Thanks

if it's shiny then its aluminum and if it's Tuffram then it should be a dark gray color. Hope this helps.

And if it's shiny Al handled, you should know that it was among the first Civilians produced. The Tuffram was added later.

yes it is a uncoated I found 2 Civi's on Ebay that were tuffram and mine is not like those...
Thanks for the help
