Sail rig hardware?

hej!

I recently saw a very well restored sail yacht from 1890, and they
had used sail hardware that had a very light golden color. The shackles
etc looked like stainless steel, but they had a very light golden shade
to them...

any idea what metal this might be, or some special process to give
this color to steel? where can I buy hardware with that subtle golden
color?

Thanks for any tips.

It could be silver bronze or Monel.

hej!

Do you know where one could buy such hardware, made with silver bronze?

Thanks

Kris.

I believe all the bronze sail slides are a silver alloy. Try Wilcox Critteden or Jamestown Distributors.
