Bought this badge very cheap and wonder if it is a repro. Maker's mark is M 1/35. The pin plate attached to the back looks kind of shoddy. What do you think? Thanks, Pablo.

Here is one that I believe to be authentic. RZM M1/35 marked on the reverse.
Both badges on this thread are fake. The number M1/35 has yet to be found on any genuine official enameled TR small badge. The newer ones are made in Florida, there was a discussion about these on WW2weaponsforum a few years back, with contributions from a user called Mike Peters, who was in the actual shop where these were being made.
Every Female drivers badge that has made it to the forums, or INTERNET auction sites in the past 10-15 years is without a doubt a fake. Whether these are complete fantasy items is beyond me, not an org. that i have ever been interested in, and i dont usually go for zinc badges at all, so cant comment. More likely than not it will either be based on a period, but rare badge, or be like the other few small TR badges that are found in abundance faked, but only ever seen 1 or 2 times in genuine.
