Hello I bought this badge and I should like to have some informations about its originality please.
Tha badge is the same as you can see on beginning of this post, posted by Mholst
Your closeups do indeed show some unusual deformities which couldn't be seen on the previous small photos. Nevertheless I think it's still an original, just a defective one.
With any S&L zincer one always wonders which might be late wartime vs. post-war assembly. There's much we don't know about post-war activities but so far we haven't had any reason to suspect that crimped-in hardware variants continued post-war.
