This is one that really needs to be held in the hand to judge, but from the photos I'd say it's a very early original. The details, especially to the chest, are not particularly robust but overall it looks well made and well designed. Markings look good for an early piece as well.

I'd say it is a good piece as well. These little pins were made with varying quality. The RZM logo and number without an "M1" prefix date it to the first months of 1935.Comment

this is a tricky piece.
in most pieces, the feathers would be shown on the eagle's chest but this has either been worn out of has been not cast properly.
The style of the head is also not detailed but i understand that this is a very very small item. 22mm across.
ive never come across the font style for this. it could have been an early piece
but as far as I know, most of the RZM-ed pieces had the M1/x prefix and those earlier than that, the font was must simpler.
i will need to have a look at my collection to check again.Comment
