Gonna pull a Frosty here and suggest:
"If you'll click "User CP" at the top of the page and edit your profile to show your location it can make a big difference. IFI is represented by members from more than 50 countries and a lot of info is location specific."

How specific is up to you.

I've been doing a little digging on nickel silver. Also known as german silver.

I could be wrong so correct if so.

German silver had or has 20% nickel. The spec. sheet on C752 lists 16.5 to 19.5 for nickel.

C752 65% cu 18% N 17% ZN
C770 55% cu 18% N 27% ZN

Many alloys of NS, c752 being a common one for art uses, forming jewelry etc.

Some people have commented that the german silver is more silvery colored and the 18% is more yellow.

I'm wondering if the C770 is more silvery colored than C752 because of the added Zn and less copper?

I will probably buy some of each and try it out.

Please correct any information you find inaccurate here and add any you might have.

Thanks MBehnke
