CuSn8 alloy only comes from Germany and from what I know they constantly refused to sell any CuSn8 bronze stock to Asia in the past.
So cases made in Asia are not CuSn8: They are made from an alloy who might be close to it but not IT.
That's apparently the high content of copper and difficulty to obtain this right alloy in foundry which makes it more expensive than others: Or else, every foundry in the world could easily make it, including the Chinese.
At this price point, it smells like brass or cheap Chinese bronze to me.
