In which case it would be embedded in the brass, inside a metal box, inside a metal frame.

If RFID chips are enclosed in a metal box of any kind, they cannot communicate. That is why we have people making money selling metal wallets and why using them to track bullets won't work.

I have serious doubts it technically feasible.
