It is a poorly cast copy of an original Deschler.

The weird pin makes me believe this one was not made with the intention of trying to fool anyone. It was likely made for display or reenactment. I guess it could also (theoretically) be a locally produced copy which was period-made, perhaps as a temporary replacement or to outfit foreign volunteers who were lacking in adequate supply of insignia. However, if that were the case (which is doubtful) there would be no way to prove it was original without real provenance.

Notice the enlarged nasal cavity from too much cocaine.

Now that, on the other hand, was created with the intention of trying to fool people into believing it is original, but it is far less convincing that the copy above. It is hard to believe that anyone would fall for that one, yet people do...all the time.
