A Level RZM Tag, thoughts?

[ETN]

What do you think of this RZM tag? The SD diamond I'm pretty sure is good. 20 seems to be the hersteller behind the manufacture of most of the SD diamonds I've encountered.

RZM Tag

I don't like the paper material itself. Not normal RZM paper (unless it's some early variation or something). And I doubt this insignia would have an "A" code, but I may be wrong. RZM tags were usually slapped on items, not precisely positioned. I'm not knowledgable enough to comment on the patch.

All EM SD diamonds I have encountered have been A level.

Robert,
I respect your opinion, I'm having a little trouble following your writing, bad tag?

Photo images

Shots are a bit too magnified. Close to holding it next to your eyeball. The diamond is probably OK as is the RZM tag.

Thanks Peter. Any anyone else with further thoughts?

I'd say it looks original. trimmed an positioned rzm tags has been seen before, but usually on higher grade insignias.

Definately original ... Hersteller 20 also made the pre-war black/white piped tabs as well as machine embroidered TK tabs.
