they look silvery chrome to me 

[Jaymz]

? Polished alloy ?

Doesn't look like a coating of chrome to me

[Gashead]

I would say chrome too - but not 100%

[glenboy]

as jaymz says look polished alloy to me , best bet get a knife and see if the chrome scrapes off , do it in a few different places

not chrome, the polish up with autosol like bare alloy does. just done mine

[Dannywhac]

If you stick em out in the garden for a week - if they go orange rust they're chrome, grey dusty rust then it's alloy. No help whatsoever there though

Clear anno  Just stripped some levers 2 day the same. Also have a NOS caliper like that and a chrome 1 2 compare 

[HARORIDER]

i would say silver even properly stored ones would have probably started pitting a little by now 

[Rabdul06]

I reckon those are silver.  I just got a set that looked like that and although they cleaned up nice they didnt bling. Turned a cloth with Autosol black....
