Except of completely wrong hardware not the worst attempt IMO, but still a fake Looks like cast copy of 1A variation.
I enclose my original badge for comparison.

I think it is trying to copy a flatwire catch type instead of a roundwire, but in any case, it is a fake.

They also tried to darken the area around the catch to pass it off as period, so they knew that was a problem with this fake.

To see why, look over the pinned thread at the top about the timeline on these badges.
