[modeleng] Identifying Bronze

Dear All,

         Does anyone know a test to differentiate Bronze from Brass? 
I've picked up odd bar ends from the scrap man and car boot sales and 
I want to avoid making steam fittings from brass. I know bronze is 
redder, but I have some bits that aren't quite yellow or red. A search 
on the internet only reveals how to tell whether an antique statue is a 
copper alloy or iron - I don't think the magnet test is appropriate 
here!

Thanks, Andy
