I wonder if anyone can help. I have been reading through the thread and am I right in saying that a badge cant have the rzm and ges gesch on it. Hope some one can shed some light.
Welcome to the forum. There is a period of time mid (1934 to early 1935) that is called the transition year when the old way of marking these badges and RZM took over with a much stricter set of rules for the marking of these badges where one can find a somewhat confusing array of markings. That said not all collectors agree with this explanation. Some say it should be one way or the other not both together on one badge, so one should look at the overall quality of the badge not just the way it’s marked.
Here are the two I own. I got them from the same lot (an antique store buy) where they were pinned to a crude and obviously old 'display' of war trophies.
