Unusual bronze IAB

[HuD]

Hello everyone,
i came accross this unsual IAB that looks like made of zink with a bronze finish.
It's unmarked and has some nice details on front that reminds me a of a Deschler badge, maybe just the eagle head looks different, more outlined.
The hardware is made of brass and has a round plate catch. What do you think, is this an original badge?
Many thanks,
Stefano

For me it looks a deformed leaf IAB.

To me, it looks like a damaged leaf, and I do not like the berries.

Its a so called 'slim stalk'.

Thanks guys, that's really interesting, never heard before of this variant.
Is this badge produced by some known maker/area?
I was not able to identify it on the books, sites... but the forum
I guess it has to be considered as a non common badge.
Cheers,
Stefano
