Czech made needle on Sudetenland medal. Original?

[torstenbel]

Hi Guys, I found this unusual needle on the ribbon of an otherwise good and original Sudetenland Medal...the needle has a Czech maker name on it? WOuld this needle be original and period? Was it made for the Wehrmacht or did they maybe utilize Czech made needles from prior to the invasion or is this a home-made fix maybe by a soldier stationed in the Czech Republic? Or is it something new? Hope that someone has seen this type of needle before and knows more about it?

My best guess is that it is period made and that it is a home-made repair by the original owner and he got that needle from somewhere in the occupied territories...? Cheers, Torsten.

Since no-one is screaming 'FAKE' then I assume the needle to be quie allright and original for the time??... Cheers, Torsten.
