          I can only agree, a nice original Assmann. But I think it is Nickel Silver rather than tombak as I don't see any yellow color showing through.

          If it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a little

              Hi Carlo,

              Tombak and Nickel Silver are very similar in weight and makeup, just the color is different. Tombak is a type of brass and will appear yellow, and Nickel Silver is also a type of brass but is silver in color. They both weight the same.

              Zinc is definately lighter and will be grey.
