>     Nickel silver is really just nickel, I'm pretty sure. 

    Nickel Silver is not just nickel it is family of copper alloys (I
    found 27 listed on www.copper.org) that are copper-nickel-zinc
    alloys some have as much as 27% nickel most are greater than 60 %
    copper. Most of the listed alloys are wrought alloys with only 4 of
    them listed as being casting alloys. The casting alloys are C97300,
    C97400, C97600, and C97800 you can look up their properties on
