sheet metal handles Explanation: or sheet metal grips (depending on the nature and appearance of the "Griff") That's what my gut feeling tells me. Just turn it round, this seems to work well quite often in De<->En translations. |

peer agreement (net): +1metal handles Explanation: The Germans often refer to "Blech" for any unspecified metal (Blechlawine (traffic jam), Blechnapf, Blechdose, Blechbüchse, Blechinstrument). They are usually made of sheet metal, but the English don't usually differentiate (tin, metal bowl, brass instrument) etc. Just a thought |
