Bill, look at the back of the medallions(center of the washer) this part is brass also. It is my belief that unplated medallions were used as the button on the lid to the tool compartment of the presentation cases of the 1979-1983 era. I have polished MANY of these and found all of them to be brass. It could be possible the set of grips posted by j38 used one of the sets of unplated medallions!
