for years i had this buried in the garage in a tote put away because i thought it was a fake piece

[Mr.Jerry]

Many people assume these are fake because of the light alloy metal used as well.

some years ago they explain on nazi insignia hallmarks if the RZM code didn't have the vertical line in the middle of the Z you could have a repro or a fake item

The RZM logo went through a few variations in the early 30’s. I’m no expert on buckles but on party badges the logo from transitional period pieces could vary from raised to recessed/stamped in and with a single or double circle. So it wouldn’t surprise me at all if the slash through the Z varies from manufacturer and period
