To test the metal......use a fairly strong magnet. If it is a low grade of stainless, you will feel some pull with the magnet.....maybe about 1/3 as much pull as for carbon steel.
If it is high grade stainless [316 or higher] there will very little to no magnetic pull.
The picture looks to be Chrome platted..... ie. it looks shiny where stainless steel usually looks dull in color.
