It looks to me like Silver, but being that I'm no Silver expert....Could it be a lower grade? Not 925? Somebody here will surely give you the correct info.
Nice find by the way! Welcome to the Forum!
Happy Hunting!

Silver Reticulation Alloy
820 parts fine silver, 180 parts copper
Reticulation
Reticulation is a decorative jewelry making technique, which involves creating a wrinkled or decorative surface on a special silver alloy. The technique has its origins dating back to the 1870's in the studios of Carl Faberge in Russia. The standard silver of that time was 82% silver and 18% copper and, occasionally, the Faberge metalsmiths overheated the alloy and got the curious reticulation effect. At first it was dismissed as a mistake. However, in time, reticulation was used as a surface texturing technique on a variety of boxes, lockets, whiskey flasks and other items of flatware and jewelry. The technique yields unique patterns each time; no two pieces are alike.

Could it possible be inscribed as '825' which means 82.5% silver vs. 925 (92.5%) which is sterling silver?
