 Ben from NH, the Z means nothing
Miniature stapler is my guess so far... No, that doesn't make sense...?

How can I determine the type of metal? I already checked and it's not magnetic; the bright strip that's on the underside (pic 3) is pretty malleable.

Gold & silver acid test kits are very cheap, but I wouldn't bother because I can tell its not gold. But if you buy a kit for about £15 with postage, you could use it on other pieces.

Maybe a latch for the lid of a case?

Save yourself the money for a complete kit. You can get the acid cheaply on ebay and use a good quality oilstone for the rub marks. My brother uses a flat piece of porcelain he got from a light fixture. I've been using 10k solution and an old arkansas stone for years to good purpose. The 10k solution runs about 2-3 dollars a bottle and it lasts a long time.

Why is it still so shiny? It seems pretty old and was exposed to tons of sand and salt water, I would think it would get much more oxidized.
Latch to a lid of something seems the most likely.
