This handle appears to be aluminum chromed with a stainless steel shower end. It has rubber handles and a rubber on off valve. It has a 3/4 inch hose barb end which they apparently used on a garden hose. I did not remove the plastic nipple from the actual head but I believe it is a either three quarter inch pipe thread or 3/4 inch hose thread. Chrome is in good shape does have some slight peeling.
