The liners in older 93mm models are made from brass.Newer 93mm contain liners made from nickel.The pins of both 91 and 93mm are also made from brass.Some collectible celidor models are made with Nickel liners too.

Pure nickel is silver color, the liners and spacers are light yellow-ish About the pins on the 93mm or all alox models are Nickel alloy to me (same one as the liners) not brass. Certainly not the same as the pin material on the cellidor models which is brass
So if I look at my Pioneer, the tools and back springs are stainless steel, and the liners and pins are nickle alloy. The keyring attachment and the keyring itself would also be stainless steel, right? So including the aluminum scales, there are a total of only three types of metal used.And looking at my Spartan, there are only three types of metal in it as well. Stainless steel tools and backsprings, aluminum liners/spacers and brass pins.Did I get all that correct?
Pioneer keyring attachment is nickel silver, not stainless - but otherwise, yes.
