Thanks for adding to the database! One further question that has come up: can you let me know if your spring barrel is brass or cast iron?

The database is up to 38 confirmed, plus 5 mentioned in Howard Hazelcorn's book but with no further details.

Brass with machined integral drive gear. Come to think of it, might it be bronze?
