It may be, but it may also not be.  Check it with a magnet... some grades of 
stainless are slightly magnetic, but you can definitely tell the difference.

You never know.  I hate to make anything "unfixable"... you may want to do a 
refinish, or sometimes, for a major finish restoration (full rubout), I'll 
strip everything except pressed-in hardware.

It works.
C-ya! Rich
