Hi,
something is wrong with this Erdkampf. Head of eagle is not OK, lack of visible arm of swastika below of eagle‘s foot and trimming tool didn’t use after soldering the hinge to the badge. The first view is not good.

This is a nicely made Staegemeir fake. Notice that the hinge appears to have been cast with the rest of the badge, and it was cutout at the bottom when they made the cutout for the clouds as Krce1945 correctly stated. Also notice the casting seam that can clearly be seen along the bottom edge of the badge. The soft details are also a bid red flag.

Here is an original Brehmer, compare the details with this fake.

This Staegemeir copy is dangerus for collectors that don´t know about the details.
