An original. The one's with the RZM logo are fake in my opinion, since this organization was never Party controlled, per se.

The RZM is the abbreviation for Reichszeugmeisterei,a body which had been set up as early as 1 april 1929 to supervise production and pricing of all nazi party uniform items.The basic functions of the RZM were to see that NSDAP contracts went to aryan firms and to ensure the final products were of a high standard yet priced to to suit the pocket of the average party member.


Maybe I don't understand, but I disagree. Most of triangular NSF pins have RZM logo on the back..

The NS Frauenschaft was indeed under the RZM. It was one of the "Gliederungen" of the NSDAP, on the same organizational level as the SS and SA. As such, it was subject to the RZM.

These badges pre-date the RZM requirement to bear the logo (Jan 16, 1935).
