Any thoughts about this item?

I believe it to be a police handcuff case badge or possibly a magazine pouch badge, as it's smaller (9.5cm wide) than the shako badge and it's not curved either. This has one or two differences to an example I found for sale on the internet, in that it has a flat back with a single screw placement whereas the example I found has two and is hollow on the reverse. The markings on the back are clearer than the photos show but I am not convinced about them. The barely visible box below the swastika has AS in it, the rest of the markings read RZM 215/41 SS.

Any thoughts or comments would be welcome thanks.

I agree with Steve. This piece has alot of problems, it's not original, Carl.

Any item with a screwback fitting like this is a Polish made fake.

Cheers, Ade.

A definite fake as stated by everyone above. These screwback plates are used on numerous Polish made fakes.
