    Whats realy scary is the current stuff they call brass.

    most of the hardware that you see at chain hardwear shops pretending to be brass isn't.

    Those screws and hinges that look like shiny brass are probably steel with pretend brass coating (it doesn't tarnish).

    Its a real bugger when your trying to do some jigery pokery with a hinge & the steel shows thru the brass wher you drilled or ground or something.

    Bet they rust too.

    I agree,
    In the latest MIK (I think) catalogue you have a choice of brass coated, florentine brass ( I have no idea), and solid brass.

    I just fitted a piano hinge, it came with slotted screws, the slots were really really shallow :mad:

    The brass stays from timbecon were real brass, you could tell by the weight, and when I needed to customize them very slightly, they were nice and malleable.
    Boring signature time again!
