If the description of a pistol includes the phrase: "Straw is 95%", what are they talking about? Thanks in advance.

edit Yep it's a spear. However I have heard referance to "he still has the straw in his mouth" when considering if the old Colt was reblued in the distant past and not buffed out. And I never new that corrosion paper was straw too. I agree that usually the straw referance is to part of the finish on toggle tops. Oh and nice chart. thanks
'the thing' is a SPEAR.
It's very fragile so presence and condition of these colors is a statement on little finish wear.
