Bahnhofswache = rail center security.
I have only seen pictures of these but yours does have some differences. Your examples eagles are a different shape (the way they come to a V) and the lettering on the scroll is thicker on those I have seen depicted.

Hi,

This is worn by Wehrmacht PErsonnel assigned to Guard Railway Yards and Train Stationed. Sort of like auxiliary Military Police.

I'd like to buy this if you want to sell it.

Is it made of steel or aluminum?

Hi Put a magnet on the base and chains, then you will know if it is metal or aluminum.
