copper-alloy Type \'A\' sheath
#49
What about a thin sheet of tin? would that rust like this? Perhaps a thin sheet of tin was wrapped around the copper alloy core.

The rust at the midway point could also possibly be from the remains of a this layer of tin sheet.

Look at the rear of the sheath in this post.. It looks as if there is a wrapped-around edge..
