I am presuming no such thing. I do not have a definitive answer, Norm does with a theory.
The fact remains that the 4 cutout arms are only associated with Zimmerman, it is never found with the "early" Schickle hardware, and I have no reason to believe there was a sell off of a dismantled Schickle company in the first place.
The facts are as stated, the rest is supposition.
The idea Zimmerman just happened to notice the cutouts and liked them makes little sense. I do not have an answer since it is impossible to discover right now.
I accept that what Norm demonstrated has merit for discussion, but to now say these are Schickle badges with a Zimmerman stamp I do not find fully compelling.
