NSDAP Party badge: real of fake?

[Gino]

Hallo everyone.
The badge has a RZM strange mark, the M1/151 mark and "ges.gesch.".
If you think the badge is a fake tell me why.
Thanks for your answers.

Good one I'd wait for the experts though....

Thank you Redfaced, I hope others answers now.

Don Scowen showed me one of these pins recently.

The curved letters inside the RZM logo are funky, but I'm inclined to think it is period, and then quickly corrected, as other M1/151 party badges show the standard RZM logo or "Schutzzeichen".

The maker is from Vienna, so it's a post 1938 pin, but a good guess is it was made when the Austrians were first getting used to the RZM system and added their unauthorized personal flourishes to the RZM markings. M1/151 was in the first lot of post-Anschluss RZM licenses. I'm sure the RZM authorities had a word with them resulting in the proper back soon after the first ones came out.

It's the same pin.

I also have an M1/151 but with a different reverse. The obverse has the exact same pebbling suggesting that the same die was used for it, however the reverse is different, as you say possibly indicating a corrected die.

Cheers
Don

Reverse. The bottom of the "M" in RZM is not closed as it looks to be on the scan

Thank you Stephen and Don.
