<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 396989, member: 54"]What’s the base metal? Looks like maybe brass plated spelter. I doubt it was made as a marine light since The color red is normally a side light for the port side, and has integral shield to restrict beam to 120 degrees on the left. If it is spelter, that’d corrode into a white furry lump pretty quick even in a fresh water environment. A marine light wouldn’t have the eagle on top, requiring another watertight joint, unlike where this eagle is perched. Nice light for use somewhere on land.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
