Kampfgeschwader 100 badge - Opinions

[collector5168]

Any opinions on the originality of this KG 100 badge?
Thanks in advance.

I have seen a photo sold on ebay with a Heer soldier wearing a similar badge.
IMO not related to KG100, the known pattern of KG100 badge is in different shape, with inscription of KAMPFGESCHWADER 100 WIKING.

This is not a KG100 pin. I saw what their pins look like

Agreed, the question is - is it made after the war as pointed out by Michael?
