An alloy of copper, nickel, and zinc, also known as German Silver, first gaining popularity in the 1830s.
white alloy of nickel, copper and zinc commonly used as the base metal for electroplating. The result is called electroplated nickel silver (epns). Being a similar colour to silver, worn areas are less obvious than when copper is the base metal. Nickel silver was also marketed as German silver and argentan.

Nickel silver, also known as German silver and Alpaca, is a metal alloy consisting of mostly copper. It contains around 60 per cent copper, 20 per cent nickel, 20 per cent zinc. When the alloy contains 5 per cent tin it is known as Alpaca. There is no silver at all in German Silver that was invented...
Nickel silver (also know as German silver) is an alloy consisting of mostly copper (roughly 60 percent), and approximately 20 percent nickel, about 20 percent zinc, and sometimes about 5 percent tin (then the alloy is called alpaca). There is no silver at all in German/nickle silver. This alloy was invented around 1860 in Germany as a silver substitute.
