The obverse photo is too dark for me to make out any details. The little circle mark on the reverse is attributed to S&L, but it was used before and after 1945. I'm not used to seeing that type of hinge on S&L clasps and I think the cutouts are usually not round.
Let's see what others have to say.

I personally associated that type of hinge and pin to postwar S&L badges or outright fakes. I also don't like the details of the obverse, they look a good bit softer than original S&L clasps. The finish is also different than originals, as are the cutouts, so based on all this it is my opinion that your badge is a fake. I don't think it was made by S&L, it has more of a look of our friend Carsten Staegemeir, and I think it is a copy of an S&L badge.
