March 28, 20224 yr #6 Many people assume these are fake because of the light alloy metal used as well.
March 29, 20224 yr Author #7 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
April 8, 20224 yr #8 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
