I’m wondering where mamas comes from. An alloy made of nickel ( and others) seems not to be easy to be produced / melted.
Silver will be availiable from coins or traded billets It can be hammered to thin metal sheets if its needed.

Zinc and tin (?) Will be common to use it for an alloy but nickel ? Modern coins are made of nickel and copper with 75% copper and 25% nickel. Is there a different usage for mamas to use it mainly for different pieces than our weapons.
