Isn't real pewter lead free?
yes ,it is lead free
Is there an advantage to using lead free pewter?
Lead can enter your blood steam through the skin, so 50/50 should not be used for jewlery
I make my sheaths tall enough to cover the bolster so there is no skin contact while wearing
If so where can one get a small ingot (enough to do three bolsters...how much would that weigh?) and how much will it cost?
Try here good people to deal with
