300 series stainless would be my guess. Lead doesn't work well for drifting, and stainless flows well when whacked hard.

Depends on what the goal is. :)

Driving a big seized pin out of a gear - do you want the pin out, or do you worry about marring the end of it?

I'm with Jim looks like stainless.

Lead would mush out on top and bottom way more when hit over the years. We have many lead hammers, but no lead punches where I work.

Also, if it was lead, you could take a sharp item and scratch it pretty easily. Give it a try.

Probably a mix of stuff, stainless and maybe nickel.
