Recently bought this SA kepi badge. Is there any ways of determining genuine ones? It isn’t maker marked but were some stamped by maker ? These are the best photos I can get until my camera battery is charged.

I am curious if this type was used for more than just the SA ?
I'd rather be A "RaD Man than a Mad Man "
This is what made me think it was perhaps not genuine as I can’t seem to find and photos with similar pins. I’d like to think if they aren’t the original pins that they might at least be period applied but I suppose I’ll never know.
These small eagles are abundant in the $50 range on most websites. You can easily find a nice example. Here are a couple from some of our forum sponsors

Still one of the more economic TR pieces out there for some reason. I personally like the earlier pieces more than the later wartime insignia.
Used by most TR organisations including party, SA & SS:
I’m trying to locate one for sale in the U.K but unfortunately cannot seem to find any.
Nice collection Aldo. Would you say the one I posted was an original but perhaps with newly soldered pins?
