OXIDATION!
Please notice that the depressions/crevices in the engraved metal are oxidized black, which is quite typical for silver. Nickel-silver does not oxidize like that (see your example).

Hello Marius,
And why I am so sure that it isn't silver??
Look to a picture from my example taken without flash!
I guess it's nonnatural oxidation, I've seen this by many other white metal scabbards/mounts.
Regards,
Detlef
