Not a good one I'm afraid.
On the reverse, the makers mark 'L57' - Boerger & Co. didn't make this award and in fact their LDO number was L/57. The pin is marked '1' for Deschler, again, not a maker of this award.
This is a cast of an original badge as you can see the hinge block and catch plate have been cast as an integral part of the badge, never seen on originals.
