Deutsches Reiterabzeichen Klasse 3 in Bronze

Good evening everybody. This is the second of my purchases today. I am looking for some opinions on this bronze Reiterabzeichen. The ones I have seen on the internet all seem to have a flat pin for this maker. I have not dealt with this dealer before, but I do have a receipt and a money back guarantee if it turns out to be fake. Many thanks

IMO, wrong type of catch, and the hinge should be a block hinge, not a sheet metal wrap around hinge.
Weak details on the obverse as well.

Hi everybody. Just done some research on this item before deciding whether or not to get my money back. It turns out that this item is original ( a reputable dealer held it in the hand). In 1942, Lauer used this rare pin set up on their zinc versions.
