I don't like it badger.
The swastika looks very poorly formed.
Is that an L18 stamp (Mayer) on the pin? If so it is a zinc variant I have never seen before

If it is L15 the good chances are it's a Floch fake especially with that oval hinge plate.

I think the jury is out as to whether these crosses were done pre or post wars end but I see too many minters to have one in my collection.

All the best

I agree with Saladin.
