Fake Nsdap Membership badge?

[Peppe864]

Hi guys!

Is this party badge fake or is it a variant?

Seems to excist alot of variants when it comes to the party badge.

The main problem with this badge is absence of numeral code with RZM. There was no any use to mark something with RZM only without producent code.

It is nonsence mistake of fakers. That badge must look like a transitional badge but where is number? Such marking must be absolutely illigal in Thid Reich. Illigal means impossible. That is it.

With such a red flag, there is no need to add about weird RZM mark itself and excentered fix of pin with ovoid base...

So it is a fake. Sorry.

Im on the fence but open for discussion. I like the black flecks in the white enamel but the reverse patina is wierd and what I have seen on some reproductions.

I like the obverse better than the reverse, if it´s a fake then quite good enamelwork.

Thanks for the input and if anyone else has opinions they are welcome.

And also the RZM-mark without maker code as okkultist says feels strange.

It's a fake. Note that good quality enamel is not a problem with these older fakes. But like mentioned by okkultist, the combination Ges. Gesch and RZM without any more is a clear red flag.
