Shame about the edges "Flaking" ..
I can only find a listing for pweter and bronze. Does anyone have a socalled dollar book to look it up?

    White Metal ?
    “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly."

    The flaking and the toning are both typical for that piece. Something about the production, or the storage, or both. It's possible to find un-flaked specimens, but they're definitely the exception.

    That's the version listed as pewter. There's a copper version, and then there's that. Whatever it's truly made of, it's not the copper version.
