Not sure what the statement is about. Like Alfred asked, is this akin to an air cooled 911 leaking oil? The garage stain is just fine with us?

Yes, the floorplate on a Model 21 becomes tarnished on a regular basis. It is a "Badge of Honor" because it proves originality of finish, because a refinished floorplate somehow does not show this kind of tarnish.
