Hi Al, I think this one is OK. It is a political one, used by the SA etc, as you no doubt realise.

Cheers, Ade.

[Alan M]

Thanks for your help Ade , i really value your opinion

This is the form used by the SA and NSKK from Austria and also SA Gebergsjaeger units on their soft caps.

Well, this is a classic example of learning something new everyday. I never knew these were RZM stamped. Thanks for the post.

Bob and Stonemint , thanks for your assistance and comments , they are much appreciated . I have also just found that it is made of aluminium and that RZM M1 / 152 is the code for Franz Jungwirth of Vienna , which would make sense !

cheers Al
