Sure does look like stainless steel.
If it is stainless, you sure do have an unusual 805.

The guys on ARF mentioned to do that, but the set was apart so many times through the cleaning and reso. that I'm hesitant to do it again. Also, I am quite sure (99%) at this point that it is not plated. I can do the scratch test just to eliminate the possibilty, but I am pretty sure what I have is stainless-steel. I just have to find someone with another like it! So far it hasn't happened.
One thing for sure, the stainles looks awesome against the dark polished bakelite!
