All of it looks wrong to me.
I thought the fact that someone had tried to cover the swastika by going through making and soldering another shape cross to it might suggest that it could be a good one?
I no expert but I don't like this one.
The extra vertical line in the left wing is all wrong to me and the hinge
and pin have very poor quality.

I was addicted to the "Hokey-Pokey" but I've turned
myself around.
Circumstantial evidence and a 'fingers crossed' approach i'm afraid.
Although not an 'expert', I don't like the hinge, catch, pin, hokey shape of the reverse of the plaque and the wreath area, the vertical flaw on the left wing is just plain weird. I would expect with better photos that evidence of this being a casting would be apparant.
For me, I'd be saving my money for a safer bet.
You may wish to compare with some of my own examples to get a feel for what I'm saying...
Whoops. Forget to mention the soft detailing on your example, another red flag indicating a cast fake.
Ok thanks guys I'll steer clear
In the future, please use this thread when creating the title for your thread.

Also, please post in the correct forum next time.
Thank you,
