Nicely made and as you say reasonably recent piece (post WWII, probably last quarter of 20th C). I think you will find that most of the white metal is a form of white brass. The exception might be the guard which was sometimes made from coin silver. All will look better when polished. The blade has been made largely by stock removal rather than having the wavers forged.
