Are these real ???

I came across some Micarta stock from a old knife maker that I offered for sale on another platform. Someone wrote and said they were not real because they have never seen anything like it before in Micarta. I'm puzzled because they came from a craftsman who passed away back in the early 90's and his family just recently decided to clean out his shop. Some say it's authentic and 1 individual says not, so what's your opinion.

Micarta will patina. The darker color is the outer bark that reacted to light exposure over the years. It's real.

Those knives are absolutely stunning. I have some of the very micarta that is pictured on those knives, it's like a chocolate brown. I just didn't get to post a picture of that particular color. I will post it on ebay soon to see if there is any interest. Thanks for the reply.
 
I see you have them up for auction. I don't do any work in micarta but I'll keep an eye on your auctions. I might just change my mind.

A member suggested I place some of my stock here, so I will gladly do that if it is permitted. I have searched flea bay and no one has offered anything close to what I have, not to mention prices were very much higher for just plain Micarta. I'll list some if there is enough interest. I may have some Westinghouse available soon, this stuff is absolutely beautiful. Check my feedback on sold items, 25 years with 100% positive.
 
Gentlemen, for your consideration I offer a selection of Micarta blanks that some of you may be interested in. The selection will be by number from left to right if you may be interested in a particular blank. I am old so please be patient for a reply, my health does not allow me the privilege of being here every night. This is very old stock that came from a craftsman who passed away back in the early 90's, possibly some Westinghouse blanks will be included. The dimensions will be provided if you have interest in a particular piece. All stock is 2" thick by 6"tall by varied lengths.
Sorry but a single picture taken by my phone appears to be too large to post, until I figure this out there will be a delay in posting pictures ?????
