Hi guys, i am back from never ending hunt with some new goodies.
this badge is unmarked, but i am very concern about the catch and construction. Looks bronze to me.
As always your replies are greatly appreciated.

Another fake I'm afraid Dmitry, note the dreaded post war Souval "claw" catch again plus the overall crappy appearance of base metal, hardware and rivets.

Dmitry I would hold off on buying badges and buy a very good reference book it will save you money and educate you at the same time .. Gary
Hi Dmitry, Ned is spot on as ever, that post war Souval catch is the biggest give away, it also looks as though it has been artificially aged in some kind of chemical to me as well. Leon.
Souval sticks again.
