Sonderverband 288 sleeve shield

Hard to say. There are older reproductions which are hardly distinguishable from the originals! Would need a thorough examination and comparison with a known original. It is also a highly expensive badge.

Some examples below, first one is claimed to be from estate of a wearer, although this example has never beeen sewn on.
Two further examples, quite expensive, but look convincing. Just my opinion.  Second example has definitely been sewn-on somewhere. Third example may be a removed example, but the fold-backs have come undone. Also the shade of green on second and third examples look more convincing.
