Hello

With all due respect, I am struck by the gold pieces applied to the lock. It seems to me that they have been melted, without chiselling, and do not congenial with the work of incrustation in the wood and the work of carving on the parts of bone or ivory, and engraving on the plates.

Affectionately. Fernando K

You are right, These golden decorations are melted and as far as I can state made from bronce . Initially I thought these parts were made of gold, so I removed the golden decoration between the screws of the spring of the cock and scratched deeply at its backside. So far as I can see this is bronce with a golden surface.
