thanks Leigh, this is what I had seen earlier.

I did not find a single image of a badge by this maker on the forum that was not on a fake badge, there was one or two that were mentioned that were thought to be good but no images were shared.

the original of this badge is much less well made than this example, but the dating is correct, originals are late WWII, for this maker?

I suspect it is a duffer, but it seems to be a very rare badge, though no other fakes have been shared here or anywhere that comes up in internet search.
