    The acronym "RTSV" almost certainly means "Reichsbahn-Turn- und Sportverein" [Reichsbahn Gymnastics- and Sports Club", with "M" being the abbreviation for its location.

    Many such Reichsbahn-Turn- und Sportvereine were founded throughout the country in the 1920s; several hundred - long opened to the general public - still exist today, with the "Reichsbahn-" in their names replaced by "Eisenbahn-/Eisenbahner-" after the war.

    A random example:

    Sorry; I cannot comment on value.

      The eagle on the Reichsbahn flag is a well-known symbol of power and domination in Nazi Germany. It is often associated with an eagle holding a circle Wordle with a swastika inside.
