Mick Friend Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 is it really brass and not an alloy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Friend Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Not being an engraver - when this lot get passed the easter eggs someone will suggest a filler - I thought black resin if its the lettering you need to stand out - but there are ex spurts here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
