It won't matter if it's an iron core solenoid - it very likely is.

Without it powered, you could see if a magnet will pull the valve enough to click when it's released. An iron core would click regarless of the polarity of the magnet. A magnetic core (unlikely) would repel the magnet if the poles matched.
