I personally don't think this looks like it was dug up from the ground because the "corrosion" effect is very even and not encrusted or clumped. This is just my observation others with more experience of ground dug artifacts might disagree.
I collect, therefore I am.
Nothing in science can explain how consciousness arose from matter.
without being a digger (at least no badges found by me) i don't like it's condition! It looks artificialy aged!! Wait for others to be sure and don't count your money on my words!!
need close up pics.
I think it may stand a chance. It appears it's a Juncker type 1.1, the only semi hollow APB without cut outs, and I've not seen a fake one of those yet. But then I'm no expert in these having only ever handled a couple, and neither were this type. Best wait for Joe or some of the other guys with more experience in them, and as Harry says, better pic's that are more detailed than just obverse and reverse that can be expanded are needed to be sure one way or t'other in my view.

I agree with Ned and i give the badge also an chance to be a good piece. But we need bigger and detailed pics from the interesting areas to be sure.

Original Bandenkampfabzeichen. Some fingerprints are get lost, but no doubts a original badge.

Never seen one with cut outs ground find. I dont, like it!
Im not an expert!!
I would be quite cautious on this badge. It seems to me, of late, that I've seen more than one of these off-center swastika badges with the thicker left edges on the reverse-and they are always in this condition. I particularly don't like the off-center sword grip on this one. It may well be an original, but I would not be picking this one up myself.
