Coburg Badge Brought Back by a U.S. Veteran

[Stormfighter]

Earlier this year, I was lucky enough to purchase a large lot of NSDAP items that was brought back by an American World War II veteran. The lot included about thirty items, including this remarkable Coburg Badge. This badge is as close to mint as anyone could ever hope to find (my photos don't really do it justice). This is only the second Coburg I have encountered in 43 years of collecting. I understand that there are different versions of this badge. What I would like to know is what version this is and what is its value?

I took photos with my iPhone and for some reason they appear sideways when I uploaded them. I can post better photos later, but these will have to do for now.

A very nice 2nd pattern badge.

Here are larger photos of the previously posted photos. Believe me, it looks much better in hand. Sorry about them being sideways again and hope I haven't caused anyone a neck problem.
