I'd like to see better photos. Looks like a lot of other sympathy badges. Not cheaply made. Have you guys seen this particular badge before and that's why so quick to judge from the fuzzy photos? Not sure what the inscription reads on reverse, but the obverse looks like very nice enamel work to me. At least from what can be seen on these photos. Like I said, better photos would be nice.

Sympathy badges came in lots of designs and lots of them were one offs made in cottage industry shops very early on before the party standardized everything. All this said, if this is a badge that is recognized as a known fake from previous discussions them please excuse my ignorance.

The inscription on the reverse should be adolfs...

Ahh I see, I was sent better photos and this became more clear. Also the bottom mark is a silver hallmark 935 and it's obviously not a silver badge. I bow to your knowledge sir...

Dear Eric, sorry but that is no knowledge it's just an observation.

And the wisdom to make it...

My comment was sincere, I'm sorry if it sounded any other way. I didn't recognize the signature but should have deduced it from common sense like you did. My head was full of wonderful possibilities....

Everything is fine
