Status: offline 		That looks like what is called white metal LC. No lead but a lot of zinc, antimony and the like. Sure would like to throw a couple dozen Civil War or WW1 soldiers.

Status: offline 		Does it stay shiney like that all the time? Led tarnishes really quick. Could be lead solder. That would make it about 40% lead and it would stay pretty shiney for a while.

Either way very cool item.

Status: offline 		I had an aluminum WW1 soldier mold , like a fool went to heat it up with a blasted torch , haven't got a clue as to what the devil I was thinking . Was not paying attention to what I was doing and melted the whole corner off one side of the mold , made me sick . I have a WW11 soldier mold somwhere in a box with a couple of other molds , but will have to look for them . Seems to be the way of things around here ..................
