Please explain? unless an item has been turning green from improper stroage or brougt up from 200 years of sitting on the sea bed... so how is a brass item that was in a stable inviroment how does arsenic leech from brass?
Please qualify your statement.....

That is called "tempting fate", considered reckless in the extreme and requiring wood to be touched while speaking the spell, "Touch wood" to get protection from the tree spirits.
Perhaps if I believe that nonsense, I should visit the Isle of Anglesey, which had strong druid connections, collect a piece of wood and build it into the stock as a sort of charm :thumbsup:
