Hi Sergey,
I can only agree with the others, a fine original in very nice condition with good silver finish remaining. There is some evidence pointing to Meybauer as the maker of these, but its not conclusive IMO.
TomIf it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a littleNew Book - The German Close Combat Clasp of World War II

Hi Sergey
One of the better designed unmarked badges imo
These do show up occasionally in good condition and the set up seen on yours is known. As Stewy pointed out, the rectangular catch guide was probably initially designed for a rectangular catch plate. This design also comes with a crimped set up.
I have always referred to these as "hollow rifle" unknown.
best regards
Graeme

Hi Sergey
I also agree this is an Unknown Original.
Because of the very similar obverse features with the known Vienna makers, this one has been categorized as part of the Vienna Design family of IAB's and called the hollow rifle variant for ease of identification.
That said, Vienna is just one of several possibilities in regards to "who" and "where" this example originates from.
Here is one I have to compare.
Best regards, fischerAttached Files

Hmm Vienna design and not. The PAB brother of this one (scooped out seven wheeler (what makes it to the Meybauer link)) has a very own design, more linked to the Schickle design than to Vienna design. Both share similarities for sure.
Nevertheless a very fine piece you have there!Kind regards,
Giel
