It's a genuine solid zinc Deumer, formerly unknown and referred to as the "Oval Crimp" design. This type of badge is the most often copied by fakers and can be found with various different maker marks and in solid and hollow configurations.
There's no such worries here though, this is a good ground dug bronze one. What stories could it tell?

Thanks a lot for your expertise !
Big ned, I'm impressed by your knowledge on this topic.
Maybe it's not the right place to ask a question like this but I would like to have an estimation of its value. The guy is not giving me a price. He's waiting my proposition. I don't know how much it could be for a badge like this in a dug find condition.
Thanks.
The collector value is low, don't spend anymore than a night out for two at the cinema and a shared pizza afterwards.......And hold the popcorn!
