Chieftains (OS Models) only have one stamp and thats the whistle key. It appears like your at the end opposite of the mouth piece.
THANK YOU ALL FOR TAKING THE TIME TO ANSWER

No it is not brass but aluminium. I have found, while taking pictures on my kitchen table,
that the colour of some pine timber gets reflected in metal and gives it a golden sheen.
When I got the whistle it was quite dull and dirty. I bought it because it sounded good.
I used some silver polish "Hagerty" silver foam polish, which is used with water.
It did a really nice job and gently cleaned and polished up the whistle to almost new.
I also washed out the inside of the whistle.
I used a dampened piece of cardboard to clean the windway.
There was a lot of "GUNK" in the windway.
The cleaning, I felt, improved the sound.
I am really delighted with my purchase and, most importantly,
it has, like a childs new toy, renewed my playing fever.
Now all I need now is more time and more tunes!!!!!!
