I have to agree with all of the people who believe this to be a silver flak badge. Looking at the back of the badge you can see what little silver remains. I have seen other badges like this one that had once been silver. Unfortunately I do not have medal to show that exhibits this trait. Maybe another member can provide a badge that looks bronze, but really is silver.

Its silver ...I have one that looked to have a more of a bronze look than yours due to patina/dirt and was cleaned to reveal a silver finish my photos are to big if someone wants to resize I will send them to them
