    Interesting - I have not seen a white metal Royalty before. My own research into white metal brasses indicates that they had a variety of uses: in coastal areas where they were more resistant to salt air than yellow brass; some canal boatmen favoured them, and Gypsies preferred white metal harness decorations. It is said that they were easier to keep clean than brass where the harness was almost permanently exposed to the elements.
