This Coburg stickpin sold yesterday for approx $160 (with commission) on Grenadiers Auctions: It is a pattern that we have not seen before/posted here. It is marked: RZM M1/52 which is the RZM for Deschler.

Originally posted by Military View PostYes, I also saw this but did not make a bid. It seems very crudely produced. I doubt the firm produced it.
Factually speaking, M1/52 is for Deschler and Sohne, not Deumer. Deumer is M1/120.

I agree it looked crude. The pictures were not the best. If fake the manufacturers did their research by adding the RZM for Deschler.

Originally posted by Military View PostHi Gary,
Thanks. I would love to know if there is documented evidence about who produced those badges or the stickpin. Second pattern badges do have RZM marks, but they are not from the Deschler firm?

2nd pattern badges are marked "RZM" but no factory associated number. Some speculate that it was early in the RZM system when these badges were produced and either there was a misunderstanding that the numbers were supposed to accompany the RZM mark or that the numbering system was not fully established by then. There are some of the 2nd patterns that are marked "RZM 189", but no one knows what the 189 represents.
I believe the attribution to Deschler comes from the Deschler marked prototype version that Weitze once had for sale.

Looks like crap. I wish Bruce would post decent pictures of the items he's auction off and upgrade his bidding tool.

Hope an enthusiastic and dedicated collector got the group and keeps it together. Shame it was not you, would have been nice to see it retained by a dedicated collector living in Coburg!
