    i have another one that is bronze from 1943 also but is this one silver. And what is that metal on the sides I actually pretty much know it's silver because it says 720 but just wanted to make sure

    Right, it is Silver 0.720 fineness not Sterling Silver 0.925 fineness

    If you go to this link & go down to Silver you can see some different fineness of silver used:
