Zerstörer Kriegsabzeichen S.H.u.Co

[bioshock12]

Hi, what do you think about that Zerstörer ?

Looks like an original with the oval base plate to the catch as opposed to the rectangular one usually seen.
Not sure if these had a gilded reverse though. All I can find are badges with a grey reverse.
Hopefully Norm or Martin can give an opinion.

It is an original zinc SHuCo.
Norm mentioned on another forum that this less common variant with the oval catchplate did have a more improved finish that held up better over time.
This included the reverse.

Cheers,Martin.
