These Sternchen are still in alu and neusilber form used in the German Bundeswehr, and they were used in the DDR Nationale Volksarmee, as well.
The example at the start here has funny textile, and the Leimleinen is also off, as well.
However, I do not collect combat used Waffen SS badges, but there are those who do and have an insight into these things.
