US Army medal silver?

I bought some old military medals the other day. One of is a paratrooper badge that has "sterling" stamped on the back. Is this medal silver or is it a makers mark?

It's .925. Great find!.

The old silver insigna sell for a good premuim.
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.
