Or you could touch it with a grinder: no sparks=alloy, white sparks=titanium.

And if you weren't careful, you'd need a new one, and could specify the material yourself when you bought it.

It could be, but looks a bit dark. Likely anodized aluminum.

Looks like anodized aluminum that's been in the sun...the black will fade to dark bronze. I'd be really surprised if a spar maker from that long ago would have used such a big piece of Ti. Stuff has always been expensive.
