Pilot/Observer badge

Hi Guys,
can I have your opinions on that badge? It is an Osang Dresden marked piece and by searching the forums I quickly learned that this is an unusual maker for such a badge to say the least.

Can you spot it as a fake based on the two pictures attached?

Judging from my very limited knowledge the eagle looks "like" a BSW...?

Thanks!!

Agree with Seb, looks like they tried to enhance with writing on the reverse of the wreath.
