3.10.25-In my opinion regarding LOT: 3002-I am sorry there are no marks indicating what the base metal is, I do note that areas with loss appear to be copper or copper tone, the piece is overall well detailed and elaborately defined throughout, I do note a small fold dent at rear body, and a few very minor light dings to side and front bodies, a further observe some surface wear, edges display some small nicks and roughness, all commensurate with its age and use, no major breaks or repairs noted
