Hi Fabio,
It's a late war solid zincer by Paul Meybauer. It may have been ground dug, it's certainly had some severe corrosion that been cleaned off and then given the vaseline treatment, but it is original. This maker was well known for it's "cut out swaz" combat badges, but by this later stage of the war not even the triangular slots either side of the hakenkreuz were being stamped out.
Regards, Ned.
