    Imo the badge is not original it is cast and has incorrect attachments on the reverse.

      Hi,
      I wanted to say that this badge has not been reproduced yet, but I took a closer look after René's remarks.
      And how wrong I was...

      The original badge has been produced in at least three production runs if I recall correctly, so I hoped your badge showed just a little accepted deviation and that the damage was from being ground dug.
      But take a look at this one: https://www.emedals.com/germany-nskk...ur-badge-94646
      Some of the pitting in the gear wheel is exact, especially those 5 pits to the left.
      Unfortunately I can't place a comparising pic here due to my cheap-ass membership, but follow the link and it's clear that it is indeed cast copy.
      So this one is reproduced and one needs to be careful in case of missing hardware and the ground dug story.
      Sorry for your friend!

      Best wishes,
      Martin
