Brazed or Welded Bars - POS ?

[snav69]

Just having a rumage around the shed and came across these that have been hanging around for longer than i can remember  What do you reckon the joints are held together with  welding or brazing  they are pretty light bars too that are 26.5" wide and 8.5" rise , if they are reynolds i will probably get them rechromed or sell as is, if not they will probably go to the tip 
What ever the jointing method is it looks shite   
as always , any help greatly appreciated

They look just like some bars I got on a Prolite.  Very similar to my Reynolds bars but the quality just wasnt the same.  Think I ended up tipping them.  The brazing/weld looked exactly same and they felt very lightweight (but not in a good way if you know what I mean).

I don't think i would try riding with them as they are far too light for my liking  and the joints look like a friday afternoon rush job before clocking off for the weekend 
God knows what they are but the company couldn't have lasted churning these bad boys out

Same as the ones I had then.  I bought the prolite and binned most of the parts, but was hoping that the bars were reynolds (they look identical to my Reynolds 531 Rebel Xpert bars).  When I received them it soon became apparent they werent Reynolds, they just felt awful. 

The Reynolds bars are beautiful and nicely weighty.  Those above feel like they would easily snap with a bit of abuse.

I'm not really sure, except i think 531 has to be brazed but 501 can be welded.
What i really wanted to say was "No wonder i can't find any DC's, You've got them all !!
