Thanks Simon, picked a spot on the rear Limber and with a sharp knife scraped away but remained Silver no Brass underneath, original colour was black before I 1st cleaned it then took pictures after a 2nd clean with Fairy liquid and Toothbrush before a final clean in Silverwash! Last photo’s.

Originally had 3 screw posts before broach fitting added, I did think it was Silver-plated but with no brass coming through I would think it must be Silver, pity I can’t pass it to you but am leaning towards it being Silver? Anything else I might try to check? White paper turns Black, but would do so with Plating!

All the best Billy
