Hi Schmidt,
It is not easy to tell the maker of unmarked Minesweeper made of 'Juncker family' die when a bit more of hand finishing was applied around inner and outer outlines but in this case I think it is zinc Meybauer attributed badge with replaced main pin and hinge. I do not know about the catch but there schould be small round catch plate, which might be obsured by solder?
I would also try acetone test to make sure that the wreath was not refinished.
Cheers,
Hubert

I agree with Hubert on all points. Definitely a Meybauer zincer but with suspect hinge, pin and finish. It would be nice to see better lit closeups of the hinge and catch attachments.

Reverse hardware and the catch should look like on enclosed pictures:
