copper-alloy Type \'A\' sheath
#14
I'm still new to this period and just want to be clear on the term "copper-alloy" used to describe the original. :?

Does this mean that it is made of roman "brass" with has a higher copper content than modern yellow brass?

Would yellow brass be the best choice to make one, or could it be made out of copper?
