Unknown Button ID

[Opex]

Hi Fellow collectors, this button was attached to an Austrian jacket but am convinced it is not original to the Jacket, to my untrained eye it looks to be a German WW2 type button, on the rear is stamped A&S and a reversed D and non-reversed D. if anyone could shed some light on the origins of this button I would be greatly appreciative

Update, I just checked out some other post's and have my answer...WW2 German which is great,still not sure my it would be sewn onto a Post War Austrian Jacket though???

Heres some closeups of WW II Nazi buttons that are unissued and secondly East German buttons(pix # 2 & #3) which are similar and are sometimes substituted for uneducated collectors.....always look at the backside construction to be sure.
