I'm considering putting this up sale on the forum but
would like to get some opinions 1st

It’s an original IMO, the type some collectors attribute to Duemer. No one that I know of has shown these to be wartime and I think that they are from the 20s - 30s but I know some disagree with me.

Original badge, I feel these were produced in both war time and after. I have quite a few examples of this maker , some with Bavarian crowns soldered on, I struggle to believe why that would have been done post war. A few of the snake cards show these particular revamped Bavarian badges being worn .
