style of pin material

pin question?
i have 3 mastodon case classic knives that i have doubts about.
i bought all 3 from the same seller and this sellers reputation has come
into question. one red flag is the pin material used, which appears to be
nickle-silver. normally brass is used; so my question is: was different
pin metal used in any classics? by the way, they are marked protos.

Check out Hawke's question in Knife Related Q & A.

He has a picture of a Classic, not mastodon, but it has nickel silver pins.

I know nothing about Classics, but I did see his post.

Hope this helps, George.

thanks George for the reply,
unfortunally i couldnt get that picture to come up. but, looking at Rogers
50/2050 knives, i saw one of his ivory classic that had nickle-silver pins.
...makes me feel a little better.

Howdy gunny198,

----- In answer to your question about different pin materials used on the Case Classics, both Nickle Silver & Brass were used! ... Do you have proper documentation (COA's) for your three Mastodon handled knives, if not I can help you with this if you need them!
