The easiest thing to tell the difference is the serial number. The 2nd Generations picked up the numbers where the originals (approximately) left off. For example the original Walkers went to sn 1100 and the 2nd Gens started at 1200. Finish and patina would, of course, be clues also. You can either post photos here or email me at floridarebel@bellsouth.net , but please make sure they are small files.
