I found a couple of net pages stating that "melchior" is the same thing as nickel silver, e.g. this page. Is that so? The basic elements (nickel and copper) are the same but the nickel silver article says "perhaps zinc" while some melchior sources say "perhaps manganese". If they are the same, this should be just a redirect. All the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 22:32, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
