Probably a fake but I'll show it anyway.

Unusual pin back, but appears original for what it is.... of course, could date 1950s/60s as well.

To me, this one is post 1945 manufactured. Don't know if it was manufactured by one of the postwar makers of authentic awards or just a random fake.

William

personally I think that there is no profit in faking this kind of pin since it's post war anyway.

There's no profit in faking KVK2, KVM or Westwall medals either ... they sell the fakes for the same (sometimes even more) than the originals fetch. 8O

I cannot comment on the subject piece other than to say that besides the A-normal pin set up I see nothing wrong.
