Hi
I've been after 1 of these for some time.
Good price too.
Eagle looks much crisper in the hand

Hi Leeb,
That badge was discussed before in this thread:
U Boat badge for review
It's the so-called "unmarked Funcke & Brueninghaus" but with a replaced hinge and main pin (and original catch). The replacement hinge block and wire pin looks like leftover wartime stock and it could have been done in late war or post-war - no way to tell but there was a big post-war barter trade with leftover stock in occupied Lüdenscheid.
There are several odd examples of this kind of badge as discussed in this thread:
