I am pretty sure that 'German silver' ,'Nickle silver',and white brass are all the same thing,and none have any silver in them,heres the breakdown I have:

60% Copper
20% Nickle
20% Zinc

I figured it was just an oversight.

And i also think Justin is correct when he states that there isn't really any silver in what is referred to as German Silver.

Punal, I believe the hilt made from coin silver. Nice to hear from you.
