Quote: But you're right, in this case probably steel.
In the first image, it looks a lot like bronze, but that may be staining from the ink. I would guess aluminium, the OP should be able to identify the metal.
Does it look like it has perforations on it? because that would tell you immediately that it's definitely a photo etching. because as we all know the perforations are done after the printing and so on. my guess is a stamp for posterity and generally just looks cool.
