Once you are familiar with it, potmetal is easy to spot.  
First, it is hard and brittle, and rings loudly when struck.
Or, you can take pliers and try to beak off a thin part of 
the casting.  If it snaps off sharply without leaving a bent 
portion, it is potmetal.  if it won't break at all, or bends 
a lot before a piece breaks off, it is likely some aluminum 
alloy.
