Recently acquired this enameled type, basic NSDAP party member badge. Bought from VDG militaria. I believe it's an early RZM Marked badge. It's marked with an RZM stamp and number "42". As I understand the rzm code m1/42 would indicate it was made by the company Kerbach & Israel, of Dresden,( a company that would later change it's name to remove the "Israel" part for obvious reasons) However this badge only has a "42", no "M/1" like I've seen on other badges. This makes me wonder if it was made just after the RZM system was set up in 1934, though I've read it took about 2 years before it was in full effect so everything wasn't completely standardized yet.Did the M/# prefix come later? The badge came with its pin coated in old dried glue and ripped paper. As if the bagde was removed from a scrapbook album or something. I removed the old glue with a hobby knife. The last picture is another enameled badge with the M1/ prefix and 42 code. Typical of most party badges I've seen. -

I've read that it took until 1936 to get the RZM system up to full operation. So I Imagine this was in that timeframe -

Not really sure what I have. I've done a little research already but I don't know much about eastern block stuff so I would appreciate any information anyone can give me. There is also this sleeve thing that I'm not sure if it is military or not. -

If your talking about the spot under the eagle symbol, that's actually just a sticker smudge from when I was assembling the display case. The helmet itself is a WZ67 with older style liner. Hopefully sometime soon I'll be able to show my closet where I store the majority of my collection, however it isn't in a currently presentable state and I havet had the time to fix up it up. -
