tomthbomb Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/15/05 Posts: 3955 Loc: Deep East Texas	Several years ago I bought this model 13 from a nice man from Louisiana. We sent boxes to his son in Iraq when we were doing the Special Fighter project is how I got to know him. At some point, he moved to Oklahoma and I lost contact with him. The reason I am posting this photo is that it is a nice looking model 13 with AGM, which I am very fond of, and to ask how I can determine if the buttcap is aluminum or nickel silver. Seems to be a simple question but I have be away from Randalls for a while and I need to refresh my expertise. Attachments ------ _________________________ Tom Welch RKS #4868

LarryWW1246 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 03/20/06 Posts: 1862	Tom-- Others can help, but I think the color on the two alloys is different. The aluminum has more of a whitish silver color when polished, and tending toward dull sheen and sometimes gray when it gets a bit of tarnish. Nickle silver has more of a yellow color to it because of the copper in it, and tarnishes yellow so at times it looks like brass. Also, nickel silver is heavier.
