Having worked in Jewelry factories..the main component metal is copper of which silver is plated onto it. Other metals are white metal or brass. Sometimes nickel. Nickel silver is plated on white metal and gold plate on brass or copper mixed alloys.
probably some time after it was made. the military model was not nickel plated.
assuming it was nickel plated after market, it would lose value for that reason.....
Gold-plated but not gold. It's an ordinary nickel that someone plated for use in jewelry or as a novelty piece. The US never minted nickels (or dimes or quarters for that matter) out of gold - it's worth far too much to use in small-denomination coins.
