Nice (pity about the mothing), are the buttons "worn" Bronzed finish or brass/gilt?

Just wondered, from the toning on the buttons in the images.

With another look with a magnifying glass I can see why you say that, there is a darker ring around the raised portion of the button, which is not a shadow so you might be correct that it was bronzed
