    It's not what I would expect from a Schwerin piece ! I would pass

    The overall design, both obverse and reverse suggests a zincer by Schwerin. The makers mark on the back lines up as it should and other details match too.
    However - the pin, hinge and catch are not what i would expect. Typically the hinge does not have the block above it, the pin is not round but is flat and 'coke' bottle shaped. And the catch is also not round but flat 'c' shape.
    It is possible that this badge was also made with this setup, but i have not seen it.

    Hi Guys,

    A truly dreadful cast fake. If the weird colouring, texture and wrong hardware weren't enough, there are clearly visible casting lines along the midline of the margins from the casting mold.

    Best regards,

    Nothing of value to add as Norm's photo says it all.

    But it also appears based on these photos that the "block" hinge is actually part of the casting.
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
