Any input on this badge?

Don't particularly like the hinge - hard to see really. But I'm no expert.
The photos are very dark. Just clear, full-frame shots of both sides
in better lighting would help.

It looks like a textbook GWL badge. The features I would expect to see from this maker are all there - except for the hinge pin obviously and the main pin has been re-applied backwards - and it has a wonderful patina. Nice badge.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
Now that I can see it clearer, It looks Ok..............
The pin though, has been re-attached upside down. The 'flat' end should
be facing the back of the badge.
The flat of the pin is supposed to rest against the badge and act as a 'spring'
to aid in pressing the pin to the catch.
Regards,
Steve.
a good piece with the noted comments above
