Looks like a brass stirrup.
 
But why is the scratch shiny silver color ?

Brass is shiny yellow. If you put more of a scratch on it you would see it better. I don't recommend doing that.
 
I concur, brass. neat to find.

Great stirrup! Thanks for sharing...
 
If it is only a light surface scratch it could be due to the stirrup being nickel plated. Many stirrups are nickel plated over brass, not the military ones, but a lot of those used by English riding enthusiasts are.
