English term or phrase: staybright
"The buttons are made of 'staybright' metal. Below the 6th front button is a plain plastic button, meant to go under the white belt the Marines usually wear."

Es geht um eine Uniformjacke, heißt das nur, "Metall mit dauerhaftem Glanz" oder geht es hier um ein spezielles Metall oder eine Metalllegierung (auf dem Bild sehen die Knöpfe wie Messingknöpfe aus)

German translation:aus eloxiertem Aluminium
Explanation:
Staybright ist der Name des Materials. Es handelt sich um eloxiertes oder anodisiertes Aluminium. Beim Eloxieren wird das Aluminium mit einer Schutzschicht versehen und damit korrosionsbestaendig gemacht. In diesem Zusammenhang ist das aber vielleicht nicht so wichtig, deshalb vielleicht einfach mit "beschichtete Aluminiumknoepfe" oder "Aluminiumknoepfe" uebersetzen. Scheinen uebrigens oft an Uniformen verwendet zu werden.

eloxiertes aluminium


Explanation:
Otherwise known as Staybrite, (alternative spellings Sta-Brite or Staybright). I abbreviate Anodised Aluminium to A/A on my lists. Anodising is an Electro-plating process resulting in lightweight shiny badge. The main colours used are gold, silver and black. Staybrite replaced brass and white metal as the main metal for British Other Ranks military insignia from about 1950 onwards. Given that King George VI died in 1952, it stands to reason that King's Crown Staybrite insignia is quite rare.
