I would not normally barge in like this without loads of research, but I have an opportunity and I need some help.....
I ran into a listing on Craigslist offering several pieces of Pewter just now, tableware and such. The fellow lives on my way home this evening, and we are agreeing to meet later on. How can I spot check this stuff to ensure it is in fact pewter? Without pissing him off ya know. I don't even cast bullets yet, but I've been gearing up to do just that. If it is pewter, what is a fair offer per pound?
I own a turkey fryer, cast iron pots, ladles, and about 600 pounds of COWW and about 200 pounds of soft lead. I don't own any molds yet, but I will start with 38 caliber for 38spl and 357 sometime soon. I just know that pewter is handy for me to have and I should probably seize this opportunity if I can.
Any advice? ???
