Hawk, I know what you meant, but reading "if you see a FLASH of blueish/silver for just about a nano second" made me laugh.

Difficult to tell from photos but could possibly be 9k-14k gold fronts mounted on non-PM backings from the look of them. Certainly no harm taking them for appraisal.

I thought long and hard about this and my conclusion is that the black areas on the back of the link is where they soldered the clasp to hold them together, but the actual cuff link itself is most likely made of gold.

I agree 100% about the soldered point and the rest being gold very possibly....

Well, brought it into 2 different jewelers. Both did tests on it. Seems to be brass? I figure brass on the back with the solder and actual links, but the front definitely looks gold, or at least plate but. Apparently not.

Well, no extra money to go towards some new silver. So I bought some anyways. 2 more ASE's and another OZ of junk
