Why do you think it's fake?
And why don't you compare it to other stürmabzeichen threads on the forum mate?
Tons of them

Ps, you should ask for pictures taken in daylight(outside)

Hello and Welcome to the forum!
Better and brighter photos would certainly help, but I believe this is original.

There is a sticky thread on the main orders and decorations forum which gives some photo tips. Good, straight on front and back shots in natural light are best.

Hello

You are right to be suspicious as this one is a fake.

The design is based on the S&L attributed examples. When viewed in hand, you can see the base material and finish does not resemble known originals. They can be found with different hardware types and most of the time artificially aged.

Here is another to compare.
