Would there be a dark bronze over a lighter color bronze over zinc? that might be what Im seeing here, without scrapping away some finish

Hi Greg,

Looks good to me as well, and appears to be a zinker as far as I can tell.

Considering its weight, might it be the high quality feinzink in Phils book classified as 1.3.2?

Greg, over time bronze finishes can look "mottled" or "patchy" with varying shades of bronze. Check the worn high points under a loupe for grey areas..

And as Chet indicated, the weight might give a clue..

all the best
