    I know your No.1 is not exactly like the later 45, but lots of good info there.
    Thanks Hamish , I actually read that when I was restoring my first 45 a year or so ago . Got the remains of two 45's waiting for me at the mailbox . Should have enough parts between the two to make one good one with usable parts and a die and top punch left over .

    PS: Just got them from the mail . One is fixed and working just by installing the handle but needs the c clip and cotter pin , The other needs a handle and the pin to attach it . I can get my cousin to make me a pin and worse come to worse a handle can be easily made from a piece of flat stock .

    Could be it was nickel plated and the nickel come off. Go on the inside and scratch it to see just what it is. I have had Brass ones but never copper.
