I have a set of these on my early TR4 CT1798L. B Unfortunately I am out of
town so I can not try the magnet test. B 

There is definitely brass under the chrome as I have a couple of worn spots on
the cockpit surrounds. B Whether it is a plating or not I am not sure.
B Visually they look smoother than the aluminum pieces and generally don't
have the surface scratches that you get on the aluminum. B The chrome is
shinier as well as the anodizing has a bit of a matt finish. B They are much
heavier as well. B 

Most aluminum cockpit surrounds have some bend damage at the B post from
catching on clothing. B The chrome ones are much stronger so the few I have
seen are undamaged.

No idea as to value.
