Looks like an original Foerster & Barth rzm piece to me --- great price

Awesome, thanks. I'm going to have to be careful or I might start trusting my own judgement here!
Not a Party badge, but I thought I'd post it here anyway.

Time to prop it up and get the thread moving again! Some positive changes in life will afford more time for the hobby!
Here is a very hard to find RZM number, 108, by Wilhelm Schroder. This is the first one I have found. And this example is in outstanding condition to boot! It's not Zinc, it's painted messing/tombak which isn't common either. In hand, it's a heavy badge, unlike zinc. Just look at that "old yellow" paint!
Edit: It's not messing/tombak or iron. It's not magnetic so that knocks iron out. It's monkey metal and zinc. the reverse is shiny and it's heavy so I knew it couldn't be just zinc. Always learning!
Enjoy
Mark

In this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig. CE
Very nice Mark!
I think I remember seeing that one --- no idea why I didn't pick it up because, like you said, it's a rare number and it's in pretty nice condition too! Congrats!
Thanks guys! There are harder numbers to find, but this was one of them

Indeed it is! I recently missed a nice and rare transitional 74, which I believe would be Boerger & Co, but fortunately I have been able to snag several other rarer numbers this year Also, missing that Gebruder Fest badge stung a bit --- nothing like rare early makers
Anyway, I thought about getting around to shooting photos tonight but that wasn't going to happen... so maybe tomorrow, a perfect time really as I now have all my badges spread out on my living room table while trying to sort out a way to display them all.
