Real or fake WW2 German artillery badge?

[WW2az44]

Hi all I recently bought this for a mere 20 dollars, I have a small suspicion it’s fake because of the pin but not entirely certain. What do you think?

Sorry I just realized miscategorized this. Any help identifying would be appreciated

Coastal Artillery badge. But I’m not one to say real or fake. The hallmarks aren’t really clear/crisp

I’m not a fan and here is why, primarily the back is pitted which indicates cast and these medals, especially made by FF&L, are known to be die struck. In addition the pin and catch do not look correct.

Thank you both, I was thinking the same about the pin and catch. Just wanted to be sure. Anybody else have a different opinion?

I agree- a Bad Badge for the reasons stated.

Thanks for your input! For 20 dollars it was a risk worth taking, I guess I’ll add it to the junk pile 😅
