This cast iron handle is attached to the copper side plates on each side of the pot which are riveted with three sturdy copper rivets.

The tin lining on the pot and lid are both still good for age although have grayed / darkened with past usage. Slight copper loss just on the lid rivets, everywhere else looks complete and ready to use.

There is scope for an even more copper shine with regular cleaning. Just light dings on the rounded base edge of the bottom of pot.
