I'm sorry if I offended you?
And I do appreciate your time and help!
If my answer came across as dismissive in any way, I apologise.
I'm just trying to come to grips with the terminology.
I was just trying to establish what the definition of gilding metal was, if it has to do with the copper ratio, etc, and not necessarily an alloy intended to be gilded.
Also, I meant by not "claiming" in as I do not have the knowledge to "claim" anything - I'm just asking?
You raised a very interesting point regarding gilt vs finish, and I realised I don't understand the difference without a reference point.
Anyway, sorry again.
Colin
