It's old you can tell that by the nuts .
The main part looks to be white metal rather than silver plate.
What concerns me about it is that it's not very well finished in the north and south areas. Somebody has made a decent job east and west then appears to have given up.

I think that's the rear of the nuts showing, looks like it's unfretted.
