<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 408357, member: 59"]"Nickel Silver" would be most likely, IMHO. Does a very job as a lookalike for the real thing. Very commonly used as the base metal for a silver plated item back in the day because when the plating starts to wear, the wear does not show through as much as other alloys. Under the right conditions it will even "tarnish" a bit and the tarnish will clean up with "silver polish" too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
