well, after looking again I think the light may just be making bluing look worn. If its not refinished it brand spanking new. Don't take my word at this point. I need to hold it in my hands. But again. The dark circles around a dent occurs when the wood is dented, then oil seeps into the grain over time. Then when wood is stripped and sanded that dent remains discolored from oils.
