Robert....My thinking is that it was cast and then carefully worked. Battara would be the guy that could probably best answer this.
Vandoo...This is no indication of any silver or gold wash. I carefully checked the recesses of the brass for just such a possibility before purchasing, but nothing like that here. I like it just as it is. The brass has patinated to that point where it carries a "goldish" hue. It hard to see it in the pics.
