Quilldor,

The attachment mechanism (hinge, pin, catch) is the same that was used in most 1957-style badges, it was never used during the 3rd Reich period. This 1957-style pin has that characteristic wider flattened top portion.

Without entering in a big discussion and without better pictures, Yuri is totally right as this badge is not for your collection - others will give you details quite obvious when you know), but the main point for you is to learn how goods are made - for that, make a search on this forum for "observer"
