NSDAP Pin M1/66 - Unusual Maker Mark Script

[Colorado]

Understand that M1/66 is Fritz Kohm, Pforzheim. I looked in the database, but did not see a photo of this style script. That's a big data base, I could have missed it. Anyone familiar with this style? Beautiful pin and it seems slightly more vaulted (domed) than others I have seen too.

reverse

The reverse looks very weird, but I don't consider that as a red flag. Maybe the first attempts to change over to the rzm-regulations? It isn't crisp, that's for sure. other comments please...

I agree with Theo the RZM and the numbers look odd, but would not say that it is a copy.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>

Thanks, I too believe it is an early RZM piece. The rest of the badge is very high quality like I would expect to see early 3rd Reich as well.

I agree, front looks good and the back looks odd. But I also think it's an original.
