some observations ???

Nice original item !

RL:
Are you sure? Features do appear crisp, but yet surface
seems rather grainy, likewise RZM 60 looks like a poor repro
cast rather than a clear clean period flag factory example.
........ OLDFLAGSWANTED ........
(below) example from WAF t=365765 to compare to this thread post #4

(below) Fake vs. Real RZM 60 examples, note how "real" is clear #60.

Can you maybe put my picture of the maker mark and the one that you posted side by side. My RZM 60 does not match the fake 60 that you posted. But maybe that would help.
Thank you

Previous RZM 60 marked as fake was stamped.
Yours appears to be cast with some flaws. As
requested yours is shown with another example.

Devil is in the details.
IMO things to look for are:
1. Surface should be smooth.
2. no blobs or air hole flaws.
3. wing & wreath band lines distinct.
4. contains upper wing curves, see "wmtf" Ot6 reference below.

Hi Oldflags,
Can you explain what you mean by the upper wing curves so I know what to look out for, most probably a dull question but I cant see it.
Cheers
