rzm button

[holgerlarsen]

Hello all
I have been metal-detecting an old luftwaffe air base,
and found a button, at the top it has the number 12 and is inside
stampt rzm logo + A&S maker and what looks like m7
now to the question.

Is it only ss and political items that has the rzm marking ?
any response will be highly treasured.
thanks Finn H Larsen

RZM Buttons

Technically yes. Party / political related items will be found with RZM buttons. There are exceptions however. Repairs requiring the use of a button could end up on a WH uniform. I once purchased an heer visor cap that was untouched. It had RZM marked cap cord buttons.

Thank you
I did not know that.
This puts my mind at ease.
I allways wonder what the reason might be when somthing like this
turns up from the ground.
again thank you.
