Party Badge RZM Marked Only

[Mac 66]

Hi Guys,


What is your opinions on this Party badge, this one has the opaque red enamel & is RZM marked but no number ?, genuine badge or repro ?



Thanks Mac 66.

RZM mark but no #

Can we see the reverse? Probably a bad one, but let's see the reverse..

I just saw the reverse.. Sorry. A few things jump out. The lack of a number of course, but the lettering is a mess too. I'd say a bad one. Others might chime in...

Micheal, thanks for your opinion, hopefully others will chime in to confirm your thoughts.

Frontal lettering looks very fat. I woudn't take the risk. There are more than enough others to collect.

Maybe Jo will have a look and than can you be sure...

Post it on james nobles party pin thread here, and he will likely weigh in , and you can compare it to others with opaque enamel backrounds.

Thanks Wim & juoneen,


I can see traces of number 1 & 4 under my loupe so will try & take a pic tomorrow.

I see a faint letter 'M' above the pin plate .. Maybe just a badly corroded original?

It is original IMO.

A poor condition opaque enamel badge by Mathias Oechsler & Sohn, M1/14, it is then -- obverse and reverse matches up nicely

Thanks Guys,


Here is a few more pix, there are not great but the best my camera can handle at the moment & today is dull, rear of the badge looks very porous imo.

Clearly an opaque m1/14 with a very worn/corroded reverse, you can just barely make out some of the M and the number itself. Below are photos of the same variant in somewhat similar condition (germanwarbooty.com)
