Mmm not good imo, looks like it's been subjected to the same aging process as the fake Krim you posted, Regards Paul.
Personally it looks to me like it’s a repro/fake. However, if you’re happy with it that’s all that matters.
paulscoot and mvbg40 are right, sorry to confirm it - but this badge is a modern replica with artifical aging made solely for the purpose to cheat new collectors.
But if this a bit of comfort for you - we all here have such items/medals at home where we found out at some point, that they are fakes and we have paid far to much $$$ for them.
Some of us accept it and go on- some will never accept and pretend their item is an original like their own life is at stake, - some of the infamous larger sellers would even rather die than to admit they sold you a fake - so don't be angry about it and be happy that this replica badge is only a cheap loss. The topic of collecting 3rd reich items is one of the most fake contaminated collecting topics - if not even the worst one at all, where even many of the official guidance books on 'original items' are since decades filled with unbelivable shitty fakes.
