The big red flags is that this is a copy of the Ludenscheid PABs like FLL, GWL, S&L, etc. but the obverse detailing is very lacking, specifically notice the poor quality to the tank headlights, etc. The reverse hardware setup is also cheap and not what we expect from a mid wartime original badge like a hollow PAB such as GWL or FLL, etc. The eagle's face is also quite noticeably different than any original maker, with that big gap in the mouth, something that is immediately recognizable with this type of fake.
