i was comparing the two as well and did a little more tweaking on the
color map. it does need more of the darker (handled, tarnished) brass
showing through. maybe i need a texture_map for the result i'm looking
for. povray ... what an adventure!

I like the second version better. Maybe if you made the needle a
yellower shade of white there would be more contrast.

I like what I can see of the ornamentation on the ends.
