Originally posted by Wiegert View PostI thought a RZM mark and a Ges Gesch on the back of the enamel portion of the badge was a tell of it being a fake, unless the Ges Gesch was on the pin plate. Is that M1/78 or M1/178?

Your original post should have read, Badges that are only marked GES.GESCH and RZM are post war Repros, But badges marked GES.GESCH, RZM and have some from of either makers name, or RZM contract number are known.

Exactly.
The "Ges. Gesch." mark, meaning "Legally Protected" or the equivalent of "Trademarked", was effectively made redundant by the RZM system of licensing and marking, which was to control use and manufacture of Party insignia. Still, a few makers continued to double mark, especially in the early years of the RZM. The double marking tailed off for most once the RZM system matured.
