sorry,took long time but here are the results of jeweller check as i promised.
the cross guard is silver plating over brass as you said. (some say it may be counted as positive ,as shows it is a real militaristic sword with classical hard brass protections of kilij guards ,instead of soft silver)the patinations of brass and silver seems to confuse me. But no mistake about the scabbard. it is high grade silver, and gold plating, most of which has gone and there are only remnants. the grip strap is silver too.
regards
