Reply With QuoteDanny, is the Turkish one steel? Have you tried a magnet on it ? Looking at the Youtube video it looks like a pressed steel part, you can see where the metal is folded at the corners.

Interesting that the top of the stirrup/barrel catch on this (presumably Turkish-made?) Tempest 'Finale' is angled as it meets the barrel:
whereas the Birmingham-made original is simply filed downwards towards the barrel.
Is the whole stirrup cast (or 'sintered' like on the Premiers) rather than ordinary steel?

In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.
