1933 Gau badge

I have had this badge for a while & I believe it is a repro. Due to the pin plate & soft details on the obverse .I would like some more opinions on it.

Thanks,
Mike

Sorry, it's a repro IMO. The MM is incorrect on this badge along with the pin attachment.

I agree with Erich, and I also don't see the umlaut on the "U" in "München" on the reverse -- though that may be because of the angle of the photo and the curve of the wreath...

Erich , Don’t be sorry as I appreciate & value your opinion , I was sure it was a repro. because of the pin plate , Br. James there is an umlaut over the U, but bad is bad. Thanks for the replies Erich & Br. James.

I have been looking for one of these for a while now ..... and I have to confess I dont know enough about what I am looking for in original as most seem to be like the one shown.
These have obviously been faked to death ...... So what would be an average price to pay for a descent one ?

Now that it's known this was a Festabzeichen - basically an event badge - I believe its value has suffered. These are being offered at around $200, I'd be more comfortable with half as much.
