Gestapo disc for review

[Oberbootsmann]

Hello, a workmate of mine asked me to show this disc which has been in his dads possession for almost four decades.
If it turns out to be good I'll tell the whole story.

Pictures are not as good as asked for. Just let me know if better ones are required.

Regards, Matthias

These are heavily copied. I dont like the 'forced markings' on the item. Have you researched it. Also look at the cast under a microscope for the fine grain to the metal.

Not exactly my field of interest, therefore I've put it up for review here.
Earlier today I was reading on the Internet that "M" coded discs like that one are most likely fakes.

Fake! The RZM is a give away

This is my understanding as well.

Fake, not the quality expected

no good

As bad as bad can be.

Nothing like originals.

As stated, the RZM number alone is a giveaway.

The Gestapo nor any of the police organziations were under the Party, which would trigger a RZM number.

See the below linked thread for what a real disc looks like.

Well, it turned out to be bad, but tell us the whole story like Paul Harvey. You might tell your workmate that “almost four decades” is now a very short time span in collecting. In 1979 pieces of junk like your friend’s dad bought were available from mail order shops and gun shows. Very little was known about them back then.
