Reserve wappen M71

Hello Bernard,
It seems a little "delicate" if that make sense? Most M71 Wappen are very heavy and robust. Also, the area between the legs and the wings should not be cut out on an issued M71. That is a feature that did not appear until 1891. It seems a little sloppy, with poor edges to the Landwehr cross, and the cross is too small for the area on the chest? Here is mine.

Back on my metallurgy for dummies -- why? that seems quite simple -- maybe an easy box?

No evidence of lead solder: on period assembly there would be plenty, and, with time, it would patinate to a dull dark grey.
