I am slowly but surely attempting to regain interest in the hobby. Started as an excited newbie a few years ago but ended up getting 'star struck' by a big name in the bussiness which led to me backing the wrong horse and ending up with burnt fingers. Like John Snow, I also appeared to know nothing! 
Now, about three years after this fiasco I am starting to slowly get my taste back for the great items and their history. But first I need to do some damage control on my collection.
Therefore I would greatly appreciate some honest opinions regarding this piece. If it fake I would like to know about it.
There is no maker mark on the side of the item as found on so many of these. There has been some haphazard repair to the enamel around the swaztikas and some enamel damage to the rear of the item.
The eagles seem to look right to me.
Fingers crossed!

The ribbon is not correct, the outer black stripe should be the 50% wider than the two thin white stripes and the cross appears to be cast. Check out other crosses on this forum and it ought to be evident.
