Quote:8-10% tinned bronze - an alloy very common in the bronze age but not very common today - has a more "golden" hue and polishes up much more brightly than the phosphoric bronzes of today.
Dan, would you say that modern brass is closer to ancient bronze? And if, modern reproduction (color wise) is accurate?

Hmmmm, food for thought. Thank you Dan.
Now Dan has given us something interesting regarding weight, would anyone cared to comment on that?
I for one would really like to know.

Nice pics!
I said before, that your "Bronze's Age" panoply ROCKS! The only - possible - thing that I would different, maybe would be the helmet; OF COURSE, this boar-teeth helmets is SUPERB, but I would probaly choose a horned-metal one...
Once again, great pics...
