1st Pattern 'Daisy' S&H

[sturgis]

Hi guys
Picked this one up today, just cant make my mind up if its silver or bronze grade ?? The tone is a bit darker than in the scans.
What do you think ?

It's a very worn silver grade. Nice badge, and not that easy to come by

The little areas of silver showing in the pictures are not there in reality, just scanner reflections. Does anyone have pics of a true bronze grade for comparison. I can see no real evidence of wear on this badge unless the finish has been absorbed, but is this one zinc or bunt ??
