Basically it's all -metal- aside from the leather arm-straps but only the silvery-colored shield shape itself is made of near-indestructible Adamantium/Vibranium alloy. The 'paint' layer is technically metal too, but it's possible to scratch through that.
...And yes, I suspect details about this unique and fascinating metallurgical anomaly WOULD occur to Tony in the shower from time to time... (G)

Except.
How do the straps attach to the shield? :D Glue?
One day I will write a fic where Tony seduces Steve, marries him and then divorces him and takes the shield. IT WAS ALL HE WAS REALLY AFTER.

It is entirely possible that the shield could have been coated with a lesser metal after the fact, though. Just because something can't be cut, doesn't mean it can't be -added- to. Maybe the snap-attachments were welded to the inner dip-coat instead of the invulnerable metal of the shield itself? (guessing)
