Hello Michael,
I am going to go out on a limb here and say this is the lizardman fake.
I will do some looking around and get back to you with a more definate answer.

I am not able to find a match yet Michael. The closest I can find it a Robert Souval but the hardware is incorrect. Maybe Ned will come along and answer your question before I am able to.

FWIW, the hinge block doesn't look cast to me but the quality of the Adler chest feathers has me doubtful.

Hi Michael,
Really not liking this badge at all. First glance and I would agree with Ralph that it's the lizard fake but it's not quite right for that one. I can't see it resembling any accepted original badges either.
The hinge (to my eyes) does look cast in with the back of the badge and the top drilled through. Not a good sign at all. The bubbling pattern is also a feature of fake production methods and although similar patina can be found on original badges, I don't believe it is the case here.

Hi Guys,
For me this isn't the 'Lizard Man Fake' but another complete fantasy design used by Staegemeir that crops up under many disguises and with various rear set ups (Souval, W.H., Juncker and unmarked). Here's a pic of the obverse side that they all have in common.
And for reference, the eagle of the notorious 'Lizard Man Fake', this one being on a fake Aurich flak badge.
Regards, Ned.
