New to collecting but just brought a English brass handled Ball end Tech 50's type and noticed that although the cap is also plated brass the blade base is Aluminium is this unusual ?.
In terms of owning a "pure" tech, then you've had a swing and a miss. You've joined a not very exclusive club though. My tech has a very nice handle, and it is so similar to the genuine ball end that it took me about 6 months to realise that it was a bit of a hybrid.
