Default Inniskilling Officers Collar?

Anybody help in confirming I can put this on my officers collars card. Made by J & Co, polishes like silver but has normal lugs.A heavy well made collar.
Thanks, John

Thank you for your information, is it likely to be silver?

Possibly silver plated, hard to tell from the picture.

Thanks both, it has the feel of solid silver, I just wondered as it has normal lugs. I'm really pleased with the badge.

It is likely solid silver; if silver plate, the lugs would usually be plated as well.
