<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 1727504, member: 54"]ok, really odd color even given imperfect lighting. Would you take a magnet and see if it is attracted to the object, even tho you are convinced it is nonferrous? Another reason to do that is that I’ve never seen an authentic head of that style that’s nonferrous; the usefulness of the two business ends seem to depend on being made of steel, and during the period this general pattern was in use, all such heads were steel. Bronze had passed out of use for edged weapons and tools dozens of centuries before.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
