German WW2 U-Boat Front Spange opinions please

In hand now and looks good! A little confused on whether its a Bronze or Silver color. Any thoughts?

From these photos, I'd say a worn bronze clasp.

Best regards,

I will study it tonight but it appears to be bronze

Thanks! I was thinking Bronze but was not sure. Never had one before so I wanted to check.

I agree, it looks bronze, very nice!
Cheers,

Thanks!
I took a loop to it and it I believe is Bronze, no doubt. I also noticed some numbers on the back that were scratched in when I looked at it with the loop but hard to see, on the left back and right back, looks like 10 on the left side back and 83 on the right back side. Not sure what that was done for and may mean nothing. There was a U83 U boat but who knows what it was put on there for. See pics, the 83 is clear on the right but not sure its a 10 or whatever on the left.
