Default KOSB in silver?

Hello All,

Would welcome any opinions on this KOSB. Sadly missing a lug, but it appears to be silver (no hallmarks, but “rings” nicely when tapped).

Hi Mark
Sorry, but that is an ORs badge which has been nickel, chrome or silver plated. The fact that the broken off lug has plating over the break is a bit of a give-away.
Cheers,
Alex
