This is one of the French "Bacqueville" badges. It is correct for the type, but there is still a lot of controversy about whether the type is wartime or post-war. See the thread pinned above.

Evaluate the item, not the story and not the seller's reputation!
If you PM/contact me without the courtesy of using your first name, please don't be offended if I politely ignore you!
Its up to you to belive in this badge or not.
Some says that they are 100% wartime and some others says no.
Do a search on WAF and you could read a lot
As the others have said, whether you believe they're late war unofficial production or post-war fakes they're certainly the most hideous of KM badges! Mercifully there's no such thing as a Bacqueville Minesweeper badge.
The Bacqueville AC is the only Hilfskreuzer badge to use a horizontal pin system rather than vertical.
