Flintlock Combination

Hello everyone.

I think it's a piece for tourists. A investugacion method is to place a stone and see if sparks. Typically, modern reproductions are iron rake, it does not produce sparks.

Moreover, any artifact of iron or steel can rust, as if it had 200 years. There are chemical methods, oxidizing mixtures

It would take more pictures.
