Oh, it's brass alright. Based on all the negative comments I see online - I'd say it sucks!
Apparently, the best stuff to use for electroplating brass contains toxic compounds (cyanide) and can't be sold to the public. The solution they do sell seems to be sensitive to the voltage/current and temperature used to plate. I think the base metal makes a difference too. Some items should be Nickel plated first.
Anyway, good luck with your project!
