Is this badge good and if so,how much is it worth about.Not seen much of these,so i have no idea.

[Bobwirtz]

Doesn't look right to me and I don't believe this piece would even have an RZM tag for starters, let along this one.

Hi the Finnish Shield looks good to me nothing wrong with it!

I cannot comment on the tag.

I like it also. It reminds me of the SD em's diamond i have , with nap on front and back of similar type as shown.see what you think of these as similar type material .(SD f +B)

[juoneen]

not very good front photo but shows the napp anyway. anybody have any other observations?

hmm the shild looks like a good and rare one,the rzm tag is

IMO this shield is a fake, but one of the high end fakes, fools most collectors..........

[jiipee76]

There were 3 versions of this shield and what i have read about there were only one RZM/Official version.

First one was the red base/yellow lion.

Second one was the brownish/grey version.

3rd and final version was the black/silver version and rzm tagged.

Could somebody post here genuine silver/black variant?

[Peppe864]

the one that you posted Jussi has been for sale on www.tradera.com

About the price for an original shield, I would say about 700-800 € nowadays, have just seen one shield for sale for a long time and the seller wanted 7000 SEK.

[Rene Chavez]

Hi, here is the high end fake that I know off, like I said there is absolutely nothing wrong with the shield and I would gladly have it in my collection.

Well,this one is priced to 700euros. It sure is looking totally different than the "highend" copy Rene posted.

The RZM tag is a real one, but a "C" is inappropriate for this insignia.

Rene that is NOT a high end fake, that is a ridicuolus fake.......horrible....

So believe me when I say that the shield is a FAKE, when I get home I will point out what is different from an original.

[Peppe864]

Here is what I could get at work, this shield is a original shield (once sold by the collectors guild) (yes I have borrowed the picture from the guild)



and here is the high end fake, see for yourself, some differences, the material and color isn´t right, neither the stitching/embroidery, thickness, detail....

I agree with Peter here
