IMO this is a FAKE, I had a similiar which I posted and did research on, ended up selling it in the Bazaar section as a fake.................which it was.......these can be quite tricky

You say similiar, do you have any pictures of it?.

Thanks Adam

it was posted here on the forum a while ago, I haven´t checked that thread in a long time, maybe a search will do the trick?

Have to quote myself and eat my shorts, I will have to buy some specs/goggles, I have posted the fake one I had, and one can clearly see that the one I posted (100 % fake) is not matching with the one posted by Adam.

These badges have been faked for years and years and then some more years ...and the fakes are of a very high quality...but I do believe that these badges did also definately exist during the time period as I have gotten examples out of the woodwork.

Thanks for posting the pictures mate, these are a difficult badge. the thing that strikes me is the rivets, but it also has the same pin and eagle that are accepted as real. At them moment we are only seeing two different types of pin.

The one's which Adam and Robb have posted are identical to the one I bought in 1971. IMO they are 100% original.

Patzwall shows an example of one being worn by a female civilian in France in his book "Zivilabzeichen der Wehrmacht".

Here's mine:
