Dear expert collectors,
I would like to ask you for your opinion on this badge.
I know it´s far from being in mint condition, but is this piece at least original?
Thank you for help.

I would say yes a good one.where's it been to get in that state ?
The Swastika looks rather odd!
Not sure if it´s real oldered, or chemical oldered, but the shape and hole of the rivets are looking strange.....

I have to say that it reminds me of some of the artificially aged fake crap that is for sale on a market stall in Northwich.
OK gents,
that is enough for me to pass on this one.
Thank you again for your help and thoughts!

A good decision, I took one look at the swastika and it was a no no for me too. Leon.
Hello,
apart from the modern chemical ageing on this piece and for sure the misproportioned swastika the eagle looks like quite a good strike.
The chemical that has been applied looks like flux to me. If you had it in hand a sniff would soon tell you what it was.
I would have liked to have seen the badge before it was done as the quality and detail looks not too bad (still a reproduction but a good attempt)
Possibly Gau Warsaw?
