Vintage Italian Pewter Sculpture, Ufficiale dei Carabinieri in grande uniforme 1940. Estimated more than 75 yrs old. Pewter is a malleable metal alloy, traditionally 85 to 99 percent tin, with the remainder consisting of copper, antimony, bismuth and sometimes, less commonly today, lead. Silver is also sometimes used. Copper and antimony act as hardeners while lead is common in the lower grades of pewter, which have a bluish tint. It has a low melting point, around 338 to 446 deg F, depending on the exact mixture of metals. (Wikepedia)Size And Weight: See Last Photo If Applicable. All Photos Represent The Lot Condition.
