The originals are a different alloy, more brass than I used (easier to spot in a bow or sale)
The patina on Traps original really adds a lot of depth, wonder how long it takes to get a nice aged look to the new ones.
I really appreciate all the comments and positive thoughts.
I became a associate sponsor today

Aluminum are coming next
Silver ones are a bit farther out
Hat pins or quiver pins are on the near horizon.
