Looks fine to me-no red flags that I can see. Nice example. William

I think it stands a good chance of being the real deal, its pretty well detailed, single rivet , although not maker marked, the only thing that worries me is the hook for the pin, but it could be a different maker
Why is there so much detail in everything but the swastika? It is canted and uneven in the arms. I'm not saying it's not original, the three members listed above have seen more of these than I, just thinking out loud. There is outstanding detail in the leaves and wreath as mentioned.

They were all pretty much made this same way,Jay. Here is a link for a nice example(just ignore the star pendant).

Nice badge!
That eagle eye creeps me out.
There are some that have a terrible looking Swastika, almost unfinished yet totally genuine which looks strange compared to the really sharp detail to the rest of the clasp
Here's my gold clasp, the swastika on this one is a little mis-shapen.....
