    Hi Gents. I purchased this RZM M1 / 148 NSDAP Party Badge last week , it is one that is not pictured on Jo Rivett's site. However i think it may be a copy. It's thicker and heavier than the usual style and also magnetic , also i don't think there is a slash on the z in RZM which would automatically make it bad. Oh dear. I cleaned it up as it was dirty as i wanted to make sure 100% it is now looking more and more dubious.

    I don't like this one, it looks like a fake for all the reasons you gave. The print on the back also looks thicker than usual. Wait for more opinions, but I would say it's bad.

    Regards,

    MG.

    Yes i agree , it is a shame it isn't covered on the parteiabzeichen website. Someone posted the same example on the unofficial party badge thread.

    The official, "unofficial", Party badge thread.

    But the dirt covers up the traits , it actually got given the thumbs up on there but after having one in my hand i am pretty much 99.9% sure it's Bad. sadly paypal do not cover German memorabilia so it looks like £55 in the bin. I'll keep it for learning from though , pretty gutted MG buddy but live and learn and take it on the chin as much as it stings.

    Hi Jimm,

    It is fake IMO, I agree with MG. It has wrong marking, that slash on z which you have noticed is really suspicious, numbers are wrong as well, they are to thick, genuine example has much thiner and different numbers. It should be looking like that one below.

    Such a good outlook to have. Plus, it is always good to have a small collection of fakes to get a more clear understanding of what to avoid in the future.

    My only advice would be that every item should always be posted on the forum first before any buying, because it is much better to avoid fakes entirely.

    Best regards,

    I understand how you fell for this one, it looked more convincing when dirty.
