For what it's worth, In 2000 I visited Richard Brune's shop in Evanston, Ill., and I distinctly recall he told me he had just sold "Julian Bream's" lute on consignment. The memory is rather vivid because I would have loved to have purchased it myself as a memorial to Bream's introducing me to lute music. Brune said it had metal frets. I've heard elsewhere that Bream's first lute had metal frets.
