It's most probably silver plated.
That cantle was one of a group which where offered in nickel plate and silver plate.
They were high quality, with the bosses separate screwed-on pieces, and excellent definition of detail.
The silver plated versions usually had Made in Scotland in tiny letters stamped on one side.
Here's the stamp on a different, though similar, cantle
BTW that cantle, with the large central boss, was called "G" in the old catalogues. I have no idea what "G" stood for.
