    If it is silver plated (I guess its called anodizing in the States) the covering metal is pure silver. You cannot plate 925 onto base metal. So any flat plated objects would be suitable to make dags on.

    Anodizing is a process whereby the surface color of the metal is altered. It is usually associated with aluminum. (aluminium outside the states). It is not a sliver plating process but can be applied to color the surface of silver. It is not desirable for making Dag plates however.
