Hi all,
I just wanted to ask a question about the "GES GESCH" marking that is on many
of the Third Reich badges and insignia, etc.
It was my understanding, that when a piece had "GES GESCH" on it,
that meant that the manufacture held the patent for the design
of that piece. However, I am confused because I have seen several items
that are basically identical, but have different maker's marks and they both have "GES GESCH" on them. For example, I saw a Nazi Red Cross EM belt buckle that was marked "OLC GES GESCH" and I just saw another one that was marked "JFS GES GESCH" How and why is this?
Thanks! Chris
