Luftwaffe Badge Condition?

[Helene]

Hi, I have a Luftwaffe, Pilots/Observers Badge. The Badge has been de-nazified and in doing so, they have damaged the frame causing the rivets that were used to attach the eagle to the frame to break. It also looks like someone (perhaps previous owner) has tried to repair and attach the eagle again. The Obverse to me, looks fine. The casting and quality of the front looks very authentic. The wreath of laurels and oak leaves are clean and crisp and the colour looks good.
On the Reverse of the frame, the casting quality looks a little rough. The pin and hinge look good to me, but...... I do not know enough about these awards to evaluate it. Is this a genuine one?
It was found in the same tin, with two other items. One that relates to the Luftwaffe. A Badge that I assume is the Air Gunner/Radio Operator's badge and also a 2nd Class Iron Cross with the original ribbon.
I would appreciate any constructive feedback. Thanks, Helene.

PS: I have not posted any photos for some time and have noticed that when I click on "Insert Image" it asks for the URL of my image. ????? I will endeavor to do my best and I hope my images appear. It's either my upgrade of Windows 10 or the forums new updates.

Well,......Alex, I would have liked more information than that. Like; What type of metal base was used to attach the eagle to the wreath etc etc. If you are knowledgable in this area, give me more information. Why would one de-nazify an award if it was a fake or REPRODUCTION. What's the point?

[kefru177]

The badge is a reproduction. The reason why they do it is so people think to themselves why would they denazify a fake it must be original. Believe me its a fake. The hollow eagle and the souval "c" hook are instant giveaways

Sorry

Souval post war crap.

Can only agree this is NOT a period piece.

Thanks

Thanks Kefrul77 and all. I prefer discriptive opinions. I do not own this badge, I posted it for a friend. His tall story of finding them all together in a tin in a warehouse was a little fanciful. . One always hopes for that "Aladdin's Cave' find.
I won't even post the other two, the other "Pilot Award looked pretty crappy right off the bat. Ok, thanks again for your input.
Helene.
