Size, labor and expense...Nickel silver butt caps are very hard, very hard to work with and shape and the stock required to shape a crow's beak is fairly expensive. The "labor" issue is as much of a factor as the cost. Jed (production foreman) gives me crap all the time for nickel silver collar orders. That's why I don't do a lot of 'em. Best, Capt. Chris
