Thanks, Sajen. I think it may be, except when I lightly cleaned the pommel with silver polish, underneath the brass tarnish was a silver-like metal. I think it could be some type of silver alloy as I have not seen brass tarnish like that.

Yes, in this case it will be silver. When it tarnishes soon black again it will be another sign for silver.
