Perhaps Wehrwolf. Note the "W" under ythe skull. Robin should be along shorty to correct me.

I'm seeing 'S. W. J.' S. Altenburg. The W. does not in my opinion stand alone.

Hi,

"Verdienstkreuz Freikorps ALTENBURG"

That is nonsense!

S.W.J. = Sicher wie Jold

The regional sections of the SWJ had hundreds of different badges and pins. Some items had a very good quality. The first thought (of a lot collectors who don't know the SWJ) is, that such badges must have a relation to Totenkopf Husaren, Freikorps, Wehrwolf etc..

But they were artists, acrobats etc...
