Schroyer box question
« on: April 28, 2011, 02:45:47 AM »
Does anyone know whether #10 Schroyer box, shown in Shumways Schroyer book, is all brass or is it partly silver as well?  For some reason I was thinking that it was partly silver, but I'm not sure.

Thanks,
Jim

Jim,I was talking to someone(I don`t remember who) several years ago about that gun,and if I remember correctly he told me that the face was silver.You would think that George would have mentioned that in his write up if it really was silver.

Hey Mike,

Thanks for the input.  I was thinking the head was silver and perhaps the two circles on the side panels.  As I consider it further, it seems a little less likely that the side panels have any silver though.

It's quite a glorious patchbox , with or without.
