Forgive me for asking what may seem a very daft question..... but, are the Titanium cases on reps 100% Titanium. How can one be sure or one verify they are getting a genuine 100% Ti case?

Also what percentage of chromium is contained within the standard rep stainless steels case?

I know the second question is a bit ambiguous since the term 'stainless steel' describes a very broad group of steel alloys, but for a metal to be classified as SS it must contain a minimum of 10.5% chromium. The higher the percentage of chromium the, the stronger the corrosion resistance of the steel, the longer your rep will last (assuming its serviced regularly)..

I just wondered if any of the dealers out there could shed some light on this ....

if you buy from one of our reputable dealers, you can be sure it is titanium.


Anywhere else off the forums, you'll have to take their word for it or do a scratch test.

Thanks for that.....

I already own 2 DSN reps and will soon be making a third purchase.

I just wondered if anyone esle out there has ever thought about what material actually goes into the rep, (well apart from the movement)...
