It's no good i'm afraid. It appears to be based on the RS flat back fake, no cut outs and the obverse side matches with the skull, sword, leaves and short nosed left hand snake ( a common failing on most bad one's) all being rubbish.
The reverse is odd though as the fakers have attempted to make the back look like a half hollow back type in the Juncker style, but have failed miserably, there's no cut outs for a start, all genuine semi hollow backs had them. The rear set up is also pure fantasy....Everything about this badge is just wrong!
Regards, Ned.

Thank you Ned.
As for the cut outs : I saw a semi hollow back without cut outs at Weitze. This would some kind of type 1 badge...
