Here is mine GES.GESCH.RZM
Tell me who the manufacturer? I mean, it's rare with this stamp? Or parts?

[Wim Vangossum]

That's a red flag combination, Dok. RZM and Ges. Gesch. without futher markings is not so good I'm afraid.

I beg to explain why "is not so good". Is he a fake?

Yes, I'm afraid it is a fake. The early pins were unmarked or marked Ges. Gesch with- or without a full written firm name. Then came the transitional period, first with these early marks in combination with an engraved rzm logo soon followed by the more common known examples with the RZM logo and a manufacturers number. Then finally the standard version with rzm logo and a M1/... -number. Badges with only Ges. Gesch. and a rzm logo were simply not allowed. Without the manufacturer number there still was no control and by this way the RZM logo would not have any sense.

What sense does falsify not the existing strain. I bought it 3 years ago. And these signs are not expensive, only 60-70 $. More expensively to make such sign.
Let's hear the views of others

Dok,
Sorry, but definately a fake....the oval plate securing the pin is another clear indication of a reproduction. Incidently "Germaniainternational" is loaded with fake and fantasy items.....not a place to use for identifing what's real or not....
Stay away from them and Snyder......they are what gives this hobby a bad reputation.....
Sorry.....

Agree to sign "Germaniainternational" fake. A bad example I found on the Internet. Look here for this. The owner claims that the original

[Wim Vangossum]

Yep, this last one is also a fake. I understand your arguments of "why such low priced badges" but rare enough it happens. Even decades ago when originals were cheaper. I think production costs are low for a fake manufacturer one he has the necessary tools. Many good fakes date from in the 60's and 70's.

I also want to touch a point: Into the III Reich period there were already fakes. Some manufacturers made party pins without any permission of the NSDAP. Especiallay in the period Hitler's NSDAP still had no controle over Germany.
