    Dead on Tom! I finished them with 3000# wet and dry and then saturated them with grape seed oil in a vacuum chamber. They're about two or three years old now and over time they have yellowed more and more. The escutcheons (I just learnt a new word), one each side, I filed out of a brass key. I'll be interested to see the results of the black light idea if anyone has the equipment and time to post it. Sounds like it might be a good non-destructive way of determining material for those of us who struggle otherwise.

    Regards,
    Dave
