Every WW2 German badge had a swastika on it somewhere. There were some badges that had a large one in the center. But the value will depend on exactly the badge and its grade. Also, many German medals and militaria are reproduced so you have to ensure it is authentic. If the owner can trace it's ownership back to about 1960's then it is most likely original. A good site to help identify the badge is found by searching "axis history".
