[QUOTE="mhphoto, post: 1664951, member: 6288"] The brass model is polished, and has no blemishes. Its trim is copper, and is more highly polished than the body. The entire brass model is triple lacquered. One thing you have to worry about with brass and (especially) copper is tarnishing. The lacquer on the brass model makes this a non-issue. Hand smudges [I]are[/I] inevitable, but they're hard to see and easy to wipe off. This model weighs 37 grams (1.31 oz.).
