RZM makers

Hi

there is a nice homepage: www.auszeichnungen-online.de/Seite3_RZM.htm
At the moment you will find maker's lists for M1, M2, M4 and M5

Excellent and early HJ Chad and by an unsual maker. A great pity though that someone has made a half hearted attempt at de-nazification.

Dieter - thanks for the excellent link.

Do not forget however and in connection with the first period RZM codes on buckles (non M4), we should be looking at the M1 listing.

RZM 17 (M1/17) as F W Assmann u Sohne and which later transformed to RZM M4/39.

Regards,

David

Hello all,

I have my doubts if Georg Bonitz is the maker of that buckle.

This buckle was probably made in 1934, but I have a RZM makers list from 1935/36 which has M1 numbers up to 99. The number 119 was isssued later.

It sounds strange, but I think we have to read that number as M5 number, Kallenbach Mayer & Franke. That makes more sense, since this is a well known buckle maker.

Hi All,

According to the site posted in this thread, M4/119 is, Eugen Schmiedhausler, Pforzheim.

Terry, this is an early buckle before the introducing of the M4 number. Usually a single number is an early M1 number. But in that case I have my doubts.

Hi Christian,

Of coarse you are correct. I wonder if there was a transition period where they used the later numbers and not the M4? We will probably never know.
Yours,
