if you got it from poland its probably fake.
Looks like an original, to me.

In photo #2 you can see what look to me like 'flow marks' from a die casting process. This I think ties in with the general construction method for these awards? Certainly I cannot see any evidence of this being a hand cast piece.
Looks original to me too.
However on looking in de Bocks book AS in a triangle maker marked badges had flat wire catches.
Only the rarer variant without the two spring mounts at the track/ wheel area has the catch with round wire.
I dont think that alters your badge though, they probably used both.
Lets see what the others say as well.

I like it too, no red flags for me.
John is correct with his observation of the catch but I don't think it should be a cause for concern.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
Looks like a nice condition Adolf Scholze to me. I recently picked one up, but not anywhere near as good a condition as yours.
