What a nice piece, Robert! Yes I'm thinking it is copper/silver alloy, but as you know only testing will tell (hope it's swassa though
 ).

Hello everyone and thank you all for your gracious comments on this piece. Detlef, I mostly agree with your dating but think that this would date more to the 1930's than the 40's. Kai, I totally agree that finding items of this age is getting extremely difficult to do anymore and specially ones in this condition. Jose, I agree with you and everyone else that the ferrule is most likely a silver/copper alloy but until tested like you said there is still hope that it could turn out to be swassa (and I'm still hoping
) If everything goes right it should arrive Wednesday afternoon and I will be able to post new photos and information on the ferrule then. Thank you all again.Best, Robert |
