new takouba and I'm stumped

You know as I look at this I would venture to say it is gold or gold plated. The only way to tell for sure is for a jeweler to do a scratch test from inside the hilt, then they would be able to tell for sure if gold or gold plate.

I tested a gold nimcha that Rsword has and to both our surprises it was above 10k gold. Go to a jewelry store and find out - would be worth it.

Either way, nice nobility piece.
