was sluggish butts/ now verdigris

[Richard Brekne]

Is the blackish ring dry or gungy ? Dry might point to
graphite, and gungy would point to some combination of some
lubricant, (perhaps of innapropriate type ?) wearoff
(oxidation of sorts ?) from the pin.

Gungy sticky stuff is hard to fix without just plain bitting
the bullet.
