Royal Ediswan 230V 15W Green Pygmy Lamp

Here is as rather nice green glass pygmy lamp with a double wreath filament. There is no visible date code, but the wrapper puts it as during WW2. The cap is a bit of a mystery, I thought it might be steel, given that brass was in short supply at that time, but it isn't magnetic and I don't think it's aluminium. Anyone got any thoughts on that..? Also any factory information would be useful, thanks.
