What type of plating is MGAg3-6?

I have received a drawing from a Japanese customer and it has "MGAg3-6" on it. What does this mean?

Hi, Dan. This phrase has no rhytym to it that suggests much to me; and as you have probably found it, googling it doesn't work. Can you put this in further context? For example, what kind of part it is and whether the plating might be decorative or functional, and whether any other plating is spec'd on this part or similar parts. Thanks.
