Hi guys!

This is one of the lost threads. I'm still interested in Your opinions!

A good piece, later variant with RZM 17.

I like this piece too, Peter. Given that this badge includes both the indication "Ges. Gesch." and the RZM logo plus the licensee's number 17, it's early in terms of those SA-Treffen Braunschweig badges produced in response to it's new "Honor Badge" classification by the NSDAP, which would put this piece at about 1935. This badge comes earlier than the developed "M-code" series via the RZM organization, but I would assume that the "17" on this piece indicates the license held by F.W. Assmann & Söhne of Lüdenscheid (they held the M1/17 classification); but this badge could also have been produced by the Friedrich Keck firm of Pforzheim, which held the M9/17 license.

This is a nice piece, containing a lot of information. I like it!

Most likely Assmann? Maybe someone has the Assmann catalogue? They also said the firm helped produced the 1929 pieces as well.
