Depends on the vintage. Newer versions have a hardened steel ball

Indeed. The original version were brass plated with chrome..then
stainless steel bodies, hardened stainless steel (416) and so forth.

There are some oddities to watch for too. May get you some extra money

Fascinating locks! The 11 pin and the flat key look like utter

Thanks!!
