Hello Gary - I tend to agree that it is a fantasy piece. There are pins that commemorate various meetings between England and Germany such as football matches and even veterans meetings but they always say Deutschland - England or Deutsch - Englisches. I've never seen any German made pins that say Britisch.

It has the common fake pinplate, only seen on modern-made pins.

Agreed. Its the "coffin" shaped pinplate
