    You are correct, it's a duffer. There's a few things wrong with this one but the glaring fault here is the two oval shaped letters 'o' that appears like this '0' when in fact it should be round like this 'O'. I'm sure others will point out some of the other bad points, but this one is the most obvious.

    Regards, Ned.

    Your first impression was right.

    The obverse, looking apart from the gold wreath and other slightly kitschy GPB attributes, looks more like the quality (lack thereof) and design of a shoddy "early" party badge rather than the precise nicely designed font one would see on an original 30mm GPB made by Deschler. Having looked at perhaps too many party badges during my relatively short handful of years collecting party badges this overall lack of Deschler quality to the obverse really does sticks out like a sore thumb and is more than enough to give two thumbs down --

    Like Ned said I'm sure there are many other points that gives this one away as well but I'm not that familiar with the reverse configuration of these "military" style pin GPBs... so I won't go into detail on other features or the reverse --- it is really not needed anyway.

    Here's a link that will surely help you further though: Golden Party Badge of the NSDAP - Pin Backs

    Also, below is an image of the obverse of a 30mm GPB Deschler I used to own --- side by side you'll see how painfully lacking the badge you posted is in quality compared to an original.
