Hi. I've been offered this destroyer badge. It was found in a 1940s dump site with other U.S. military items. Does it look authentic?

I agree, an original Schwerin but corroded over time in the ground. It's interesting to see because there was a previous posting of one with the same colour to the raw Tombak -- I guess that's a patina that occurs under specific environmental conditions. Maybe the one in the other thread was also ground-dug and then cleaned up?
