What material are these front sights made from?
They are not brass blades like original 1860's or conversions of &/or modern repro 1860's. They are not german-nickel like on the 1872 Open Top's.
It looks like maybe steel that is blued on both sides and polished on top and back radius.
Have you altered your front sight? If so, how? With what? I was thinking brass or silver model paints. Or brass rub-on stuff.
Comments please.
