and the backside.. notice the strange "connected" swastika and the polish made looking needle system.
can this be real??

Hi Michael,

It exists, therefore unfortunately it is real! However, this looks like a bad repro to me. I'd leave it in Poland! I'm sure you can find some cheaper lead for a fishing lure.

Hi Michael,

Yes, as you assumed and as Mike confirmed, a very bad fake.

Cheers, Frank

There are all the different Wehrmacht awards made in Poland and they all have this cast on hinge setup, I see literally hundreds here in Berlin.
