original Panzer Assault Badge? Worth $225?

This PAB is available for $225 OBO. I would love a PAB and pay the higher end of fair value for such a clean piece,
if original.

I went on some dealer websites to compare and I notice some differences in the headlamps and contours on the front of the chassis. It just seems too crisp and too clean and that makes me suspicious.

I want to offer $200 but have no interest in repros. So far I've been lucky with picking up 2 wound badges and 2 M42 helmets, but got suckered with a bad repro pith helmet. Hoping to keep that as my only regret! I really appreciate everyone's responses in advance.

IMHO it is a good Wiedmann. page 507 of The German Panzer Assault badge of WW2 by Philippe Debrock shows this badge with the back story. Like I stated just my opinion.
