      Sorry, that badge is a fake, it has several things plain wrong, the most blatant is the maker´s mark.

        I disagree. IMO that is an original early badge that has been polished to death. I have seen a number of real Schwerins that have that type of mark as opposed to the more common one in which the two lines are wider spaced. The letters do look a bit fat but the way that the two words 'Berlin' tail off at different angles is correct.

        Also I never saw a fake that had the scooped middle characteristic of originals. The cutouts also look fine

        I would be interested to see the shape of the pin.

                    I am sorry Chay, it seems I have been wrong on that one. The early form with scooped out reverse and different logo did not come to my mind today and what I thought was bad detail from a casting is indeed rubbed off details. Patrick is right, but just to be sure, let´s see the pin.
                    Cheers, Frank

                            it looks like its been bashed at the bottom and has some repair work,also looks like somebody has bashed the end of the pin heavily
