Thanks for the comments guys.
Detlef, thank you for the scan. Seems almost identical to mine.
Luc, yes I thought it may have been varnished. I don't have it in my hands yet but as soon as it arrives I will remove the varnish and post clearer pictures. Could you point me in the direction of some of the research done on these copper-insert types?
Could this date to the late 19th Century, or is it a later example?
Thanks again,
Russel
