I have considered this a repro for the last few years until I saw one remark about some original Assmann pilot badges having the large leg cutout. I’ve had this one since ’86 and the eagle is aluminum and the wreath appears zinc. It has the typical hinge and catch for a zinc wreath and it matches up rather well to a friends zinc Assmann observer.

Can someone help me out with this one?

I almost agree with your original assessment that the badge is a repro. I think we all agree that the Assmann Pilot and Pilot/ Observers had the oval cut-out between the legs. The badge you show looks more like the "wedgie" version. I'm sceptical, but may be wrong.
