Arrived yesterday, a remarkably reasonable Ebay impulse buy, this venerable Stuart No 8 set probably should not be shown to that grumpy little elephant.
German silver = nickel silver ..quite Redly available , I often buy it and it can look like steel but won't rust of course it is actually Nickel and Copper I believe Willy
Chris, it machines similar to brass. We used it on the ships for fittings exposed to saltwater like studs and nuts to hold zinc bars in place for galvanic corrosion protection. Search for Cupronickel or copper-nickel. Here is a source I found: https://www.farmerscopper.com/copper-nickel.htmlCheers Dan
