Kriegsmarine High Seas Badge: Authentic Piece?

[aechols83]

Hi, all. I saw this piece for sale recently and going for what seemed a good price at $150 USD. I apologize the photo of the obverse isn't clearer, but by the looks of it does it appear original? The pin assembly looks good to me as a novice but I seem to come across repro and fake kriegsmarine badges like this very often for some reason.

Thanks for the help!
Best,
Adam

Hi Adam
The one that you have shown is not an original piece. The back is completely wrong. I would attach a picture I have of an original that I own, but I can't seem to upload any at the moment sorry

The price it is selling for would send huge alarm bells ringing
