Sure it's not the old 7/0.29 copper which was tin plated? Have you cut it
to see if it's copper in the middle?

I'd suggest _not_ cutting it.

Neither should really be left in situ long-term (if you're already at
the floorboard lifting stage). Aluminium, in particular, has a habit
of working fine for years and then creating problems when you start to
touch it - particularly if you cut it and then try to re-join it
(screw terminals through a decades-old oxide layer - lovely).

It's a fair bet that it's either 7/0.29 or aluminium, but I think a
definitive identification can wait until it's heading for the scrap
pile.
