Quartermaster James Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Bearing in mind that most modern offerings of "white bronze" are not distinguishable from stainless steel, how period are "white bronze" fittings as opposed to brass? More importantly, which would be more period correct?
HarborMaster Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 another metal not mentioned., is copper. Copper was used alot. More importantly, which would be more period correct I have to say yellow brass., bronze and copper. I am not Lost .,I am Exploring.
