I'm not finding a match, There are a couple of things that don't seem to fit. Will keep looking. To my eyes it has a RS look about it. Rudolf Souval. Still searching.

Do you have any sharper pictures? Can you tell what the base metal is? Tombac? Zinc? Can you weigh it? Measure it's dimensions?

I am no badge expert but they don't look good to me, the eagles look like they have been hit with the ugly stick
