[QUOTE="Mkm5, post: 5310767, member: 116933"]After looking over this piece, I'm now trying to figure out how it was made, be it cast, forged, or hand tooled. I took it apart, it appears to be 3 or 4 pieces threaded and/or brazed together on the handle, which is hollow inside. I'm pretty sure it's silver plated, as there are areas that look like it was polished through to the base metal, maybe nickel or pot metal underneath. I even found two more of these for sale after some online research! Those ads claim early 1900s, maybe late Victorian.[/QUOTE]
