Assuming you are talking about the Napoleonic period, then both the 43rd and 52nd had silver officers' lace, so "white metal" shako badges.

That's what I thought initially, but I've seen 28mm 52nd Light Infantry figures, with brass buglehorn badges... so now I'm more confused that ever!

Are they from a later period, perhaps?

As I understand it, shako badges, breast-plates, etc, were generally brass, regardless of officers' metal-colour. However, some officers could have silvered items. Nothing is ever straightforward in the British Army...

On a similar vein, ORs' buttons were always pewter and officers' shako-cords on 1812 Pattern shakos also tended to be gold, even when the metal colour was silver.
