lol ... i see no mistakes in fact i think you've improved it!

"Shiny!" is the proper exclamation in this context I guess :)

i used your rmf definition then tweaked the normal map for this version ...

normal {
   average
     normal_map {
       [1 bumps scale 0.175 bump_size 0.15]
       [1 bumps scale 0.35 bump_size 0.15]
       [1 function { RMF(x, y, z) } scale 0.1 bump_size 0.125 slope_map 
{ [0 <0,1>] [0.25 <1,0>] [1 <1,0>] }]
       }
   accuracy 1e-3
   scale 0.05
   }

... i think it looks like cast brass that's been worked a bit.

i also played some more with irid ...

irid { 0.1 thickness 0.25 turbulence 1 }

it's subtle but you can see it in a several places

Yes, it looks patinated.

Personally I love metal materials, but it's difficult to predict their behavior
in several scene setups.
Metals depend on their environment, reflections are more important than diffuse
settings. Metals show sharp contrasts between shadows and highlights.

Therefore I prefer hdr lighting or at least a combination of a normal
lightsource and hdr.

Here I took the nice rolly_sphere together with a more polished silvery metal
material:

#declare mtex =
texture {
        pigment {color rgb <1,0.952,0.818>}
        normal {facets coords 0.024 scale 0.1}
        finish {
                brilliance 2
                specular 0.5
                roughness 0.01
                metallic
                reflection {0.8 metallic}
                ambient 0
                diffuse 0.05
                conserve_energy
        }
}

#declare dtex =
texture {
        pigment {color rgb 1}
        normal {bumps 0.2 sine_wave scale 0.01}
        finish {
                brilliance 1
                specular 0.3
                roughness 0.03
                reflection {0, 0.8 fresnel on}
                ambient 0
                diffuse 0.15
                conserve_energy
        }
}

#declare unnamed_material_ =
material {
        texture {
                pigment_pattern {
                        average
                        pigment_map {
                                [1      wrinkles scale 0.02]
                                [1      wrinkles scale 0.063]
                                [1      wrinkles scale 0.2]
                        }
                }
                texture_map {
                        [0.5    mtex]
                        [1      dtex]
                }
        }
 interior {ior 2.5}
 scale 10
}
