Default Magpies

Hello,
I'll just add, as I often do, that stainless is popular because sailors are like magpies: they like shiny objects. If you go with bronze, just be sure of the quality (Manganese bronze and Naval bronze, for instance, are both brasses). If you get cast pieces, be very sure of the foundry.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
