      Group missing medals . Any ideas on medals ? 1-fire cross 3rd reich ?  2-schwarzburg ? 3-? 4-russian? 5-russisn? 6-schwarzburg? 7-8- shooting awards ? no honor cross ? I assume all civil awards  no wwi army service ? but Freikorps for Russian awards ?

      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.

      Interesting one here, Fallschirmjaeger trooper, German medals and ribbon bar with an ARCOM and GC. Prior US service then moved to Germany?    Netherlands, with Joint Service Commendation Medal

      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.
