    Awesome results!
    Couldn't help but wonder, is the case pitting under the patina?

    Is this the brass case or the corrected bronze case?

    This is the brass case. AFAIK no cases have been replaced yet. I'm seeing what I can do with the brass case so I can decide whether to keep or replace. Frankly I'm diggin' the brass. I think I prefer the underlying gold tone to the pink of the CuSn8 and I like the results of the "vinegar steaming." Guess I've got a fews months yet to decide.

    Cheers!

    Really interesting. I guess might as well play with it since a new case is coming.
