Basemetal of that badge is zinc.

Zinc badge with rustComment

Zinc by its nature will not "rust". Just the same, it's a crappy metal to make badges out of.

I tend to agree with Giel that this one is a nicely aged fake. Well made from the same type of zink base metal and hardware as originals and with some very good patina but the hinge and pin are the red flags here, as well as the crappy attempt at a cutout under the swastika.
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
