I‘m sorry but I think this cockade is a reproduction. The color of the white ring doesn't look ok and the "rays" inside of the ring don't touch the ring evenly like original cockades would.

Thank you Sandmann for confirming what I thought it was reproduction. I thought all cockades are made of steel ?

According to the regulations from 1896 both materials were allowed. But usually brass was only taken when the basic color was gold or yellow, like Baden.
