The titanium nitride shafts are distinctly gold or bronze colored, that's the only dead giveaway.

I'm not sure exactly when the switch to the external counterweight took place, so it doesn't necessarily indicate a nitride shaft.

Plus there are a number of reels now that have been upgraded, so you can also have fully updated reels with internal counterweights.
