They came in two sizes with or without a point. The bottom shuttle is a reproduction that has been sold for many years by Lacis. I have seen this reproduction and others on Ebay.

Nickel silver is a metal alloy containing nickel, copper and zinc.

There are two precautions you must be aware of with this method.
