Bryan, these are another one that can be devilishly hard to be certain about - there are alot of fakes of these. That said, to my untrained eye it does look good.
Can you possibly post some oblique pictures of the hinge and catch?
an interesting Naval WB with potentials but like Mike i´d like so see some pics of catch and hinge.

Don´t throw away your fake WB´s! Get in touch with me.
I collect them for reference purposes for the benefit of the hobby (for the right "fake" price of course).
Hi Don, thank you and thanks for your quick reply.
Hi Mike, thanks for your reply. You are right. There are alot of fakes of these. This one is not yet in my collection. For the clear pictures, hinge and catch setup, maybe I will ask the seller for more.
Hi Hans, yep it's interesting. The pattern is different to the one in my collection. Yes, this kind of badge should be more than one makers duing the period. But the silver finish to this badge make me feel interesting. Is there any finish or paint on that badge? Funny.
Hi don, thanks for you reply.
....Below is a Navy WB in Silver in my collection:
