Nice example, Willem!

Are the protrusions in between the brass sleeve and the lancehead a silver alloy or silver?

Hello Maurice,

I'd guess at brass or bronze. It does have a different hue but does not strike me as silver alloy...

Regards,
Kai

After closer examination of the photo, I'm agreeing with Kai - bronze, more likely brass based on the color of the different patinas and types of patinas.
