You are comparing "Apples " to "Oranges" I think?
The need to read some German is really nessasary.
Yours reads " Reichszollverwaltung" (National Customs Administration). Yours looks good to me?

Thoese in the link read "Reichsfinanzverwaltung" meaning "National Finance Administration".

do you know anything about the unit number or where i can find the history of the unit?
Hi Nick, I think you will find the number is personal to the wearer.
No idea if any of this kind of info is available: I seriously doubt it?
Cheers, Ade.

but i saw to stay away from a certain #, i believe 32023, because they are all fakes, so i figured this number was a unit
Did you know that certain employees of the Reichszollverwaltung were Gestapo ?
Nice badge

i did not know that but the gentlemen that brought in that bade also brought in a polizei belt buckle and some nice pins and cuff links so im thinking that those items might have been pulled off the same soldier
