It has the same weird craftsmanship that I have seen on other awards by Hymmen & Co.

Hello,
The badge is original, ugly but original. It is also rather uncommon in that type of condition. Nice piece.

Hello George and Jody,

thank you very much for your help!
I tried to find something here in the forum first, but these ones really seem to be very uncommon.

Best wishes

Looks like someone tried to strangle that eagle, but it looks OK to me. Ugly, but wartime.
