This is a fake from the early 1970's. Note the gilt lettering (should be silver); the numbers are not individually stamped as they should be and the "A" in "DAP" is not directly over the centre of the bow.
A similar item is illustrated in "Reproduction Nazi Insignia" by Stockton and Charlton published in 1971.
Jray is right. That article is just great. If you take a little time to study the text and examen the pictures very carefully, you know exactly where to look at.
Just checked my records. I bought an identical badge in 1968 for £3.50 and sold it for £4.00 in 1973 after I read the Stockton & Charlton book and saw it described as a fake.
