About MeTwo pneumatic chisels one of branded manufacture the other made in the smiddy of the granite yard by the blacksmith.

The branded chisel has an applied gold finish (unidentified) and may be made entirely from tungsten. The blacksmith chisel has a tungsten tip inserted into a steel body. There's some evidence it originally had an applied black finish (unidentified) and there is a thin layer of rust to the tool, particularly near the cutting edge and on the shank.
