SOLID brass tips for web belts!

Post by lantzn »

Man I've been looking for these for awhile. Everything I've come across have stated brass PLATED tip.
I inquired about this and the owner emailed me back and said he's pretty sure they are solid brass.

He put a magnet to them and it didn't stick. Would this be a 100% positive test?
Don't they usually brass plate over steel or nickle which the magnet would stick to?

Typing in web belt tips in Google Images brings up pages and pages of them. There are antiqued, regular and polished versions in many of the metals only most of the brass are plated.
