Many thanks, Paul: laus for you!! 
I think that it is parcel tinning. Only the contour band was tinned to give an effect of silver on gold background. All the surface of the fittings has suffered the same abrassion, therefore if tinning has only survived there, probably only hte bands were tinned in origin.

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
