Cross "Treuen Kriegern 1866"

[Tupper]

Hello my Friends, i also got this Cross. I Just saw it in bronze but this one appears silverish.

 

Was this Cross for the war against denmark?

Looks like a heavily worn award type, awarded for the war against Austria.

These were awarded in bronze only, but it was a relatively bright alloy. Or could it have a later applied, unofficial silver layer? Hard to judge from the pictures if it's actually the base metal or not...
