That is very nice! is the chape the only original part? Close ups would be really nice to see, I do not think anybody is expecting miracles. Perhaps you have preformed one

I thank you for all the kind words. Pleased you like it!

Alex,
The 'white' you see through the piercings, is actually gold foil, it just looks white with the camera flash.

Tim,
The middle and bottom fitting are original, I only made the top one, (Plus wood, as it was half missing and a bit past it.)

I'll try and get a close-up or two for you if you wish.

Thank you all again!

copper would probally be a better match

Ward,
Thank you for your suggestion.
The original foil was a reddish gold colour. Very bright and shiney in the odd place, but was mostly done for, so I just used plain gold foil instead.
Think copper would be a bit too dull, though it does have a reddish look when bright.
