IMO this is an original piece. These eagles are known as 'Flemish' or 'Belgian made' Officer bullion eagles. So, they aren't German RZM.
I have several of these. One comes out of a lot of different Belgian made SS insignia (cufftitles, collar tabs, etc...)
An other ones originates out of a Konvolut of an SS-Hauptsturmführer of the 'Hitlerjugend'
Here and old topic on these insignia:

It may be its nicely mad ,but I wouldnt buy it bassed on the wing structure, the wings are made just like the fake versions of this eagle are made.
Originals had each individual feather embroidered,this one has them done as a whole a characteristic of fakes.
The style is not foreign it was an early style used by many officers.Here is a Belgian made example of a sleeve eagle used by many SS officer during the war that can be seen in period pictures in use.Attached Files

Hi John,
Is this how these wings look better to you?
On the issue what one calls 'belgian made eagles'. Over here - in Flanders, Belgium - the eagle that started this topic is the type that collectors refer to as 'Belgian made' though.
Kind regards,
