I'm not so sure, it resembles a known original, but the finishing looks a bit off
any chance it could be a casting?
Let's wait and here some more opinions, but I feel like it's in with a chance of being OK...

Bad quality. Of course it can be just the pictures, but on the other hand that´s what I base my judgement on.

Is this one close?

I have this and believe ti to be good. It look a lot like the one klinsmann is showing. I do see several things that are not 100% the same. The line in the center at the bottom of the eagle just at the start of the wreath on klinsmann's. Maybe mine is not like his at all but when I first saw this thread this one came right to mind.

Back

Here is the back. On the other picture look at the lack of detail at the bottom of the wreath just above the date bar as well.

Compare it to this type, which is considered to be an original Spange by an unknown manufacturer.
