This is an original one .. its a dachau made one
And there is no proof of them ever been worn by ss men .....(jet)
But there is proof they came from dachau in the form of a photo with dutch prisoners wearing it with their liberation

I don't know about your shield I don't like it ...

A photo without flash ....

If you do a little research you will find some original shields that look like yours..(almost)
It could have been washed or something because it is discoloured..
It can not be original used tunic removed it will be the first ever found... and the black side's would be folded over or cut to size..

Here's an example in wear...The discoloration is less important than the type of Weave employed, and the irregularities along the reverse edges match the mint, unissued badge posted, nice piece!

Hi there Glen! The picture quality is a bit meh and the insignia has frayed and discoloured. I think this is an original one.

The picture you posted of Gerardus Mooyman shows the first pattern in wear which is not the same.
The other colleague mentions this Dachau type armshield not being found it wear, I have seen it a few times on tunics:
