Hey, the Cestus is a glove made of thick cloth and reinforced with metal plates and wicked spikes (also presumably metal). So I assume you could have the metal components made of alchemical silver or cold iron etc.
If you chose to make a silver cestus does it suffer the -1 to damage? The cestus does B or P damage and the penalty from alchemical silver only applies to piercing or slashing weapons - so what happens if a weapon does both piercing or bludgeoning?
I'd say GM call, but I'd say yes it can be silver and both would take the -1 since I believe the knuckles have metal over them doing most of the damage

Yep. If a GM says otherwise, ask him if arrows can use those metals.

Gah, stop hurting my brain!
Anyway, the cestus deals bludgeoning OR piercing damage, never both (unlike, say, the morningstar).
A silver morningstar would take -1 to damage, but a silver cestus would only take that penalty if you chose to have it deal piercing damage. If you use it for bludgeoning damage, then there's no penalty.

If you're feeling spendy, you could instead get a silversheen cestus and not worry about any reduction in damage OR rusting grasp.
