Default Darfia Copper Alloy question

A question for the Darfia;

The old Thai Daarb attached has a nice scabbard covered in a copper alloy that shines like silver in some lights and copper in other lights and has a definate copper hue.

Whilst copper alloys have been around since ancient times...see Wiki; Copper is often alloyed with precious metals like silver and gold, to create, for example, Corinthian bronze, hepatizon, tumbaga and shakudo.)

There is no mention in the Wiki text on copper alloys that are native to SEA which leads me to ask, what is the native Thai term for such a mixed alloy as presented in the image attached.
