Every original I've seen Nick that has Talbot mirrors has been chrome brass. I know Talbot made/makes the spun aluminum one too but as far as I've seen on Cobras, they been chrome brass. I haven't seen them all though!
You sure can tell the difference in a real Talbot mirror compared to a copy when you hold one in your hand. Weight and a real feeling quality in the Talbot.

Thanks as always Dan! I've seen the Walpres mirrors as well. I just figured that was one of those "buy it where you can" situations. They are slightly different I think. A little larger lens? A little shorter body maybe? Kind of hard to size it based on memory.
