Very poor fake. Quality, letters and number are wrong.
Apart from anything else the idea of something being de-nazified yet still clearly relating to the Gestapo would have my "Spider senses" tingling from the word go

Have a read of this site:

I only managed to find three original Gestapo discs over the years, I kept the two on the right side. On the lower left is the Polish reproduction from the 1990s for comparison - it's well made, but it has some obvious mistakes.
That #1 post disc shows all the mistakes of poorly faked wear. It's been wacked with everything but there is no smooth wear around the hole where there would be if it was actually used. And wrong numeral font of course. These people don't even think.
Also notice the hole is positioned on the wrong end of the disc. A very bad fake indeed.
Dienstmarken were de-nazified and used in the post war period, but only Kripo discs allowed by the British to be used by German detectives.
