RZM tags in black SS caps

This analysis and the accompanying pictures from FB are a marvellous resource for collectors. So much earnest endeavour is summarised so neatly and provided to members. Bravo!.
None of the books that I am aware of provide anything like this level of detail. It would surely be impossible to attain this information anywhere. Many thanks. Paul

Thanks. Am happy to serve in congenial company. I should engage in a twelve step program to overcome this interest. Also, the effort in this regard has been pretty costly over several decades to noodle this all out.
The instrument here, though, has been a low cost way to arrange the data.

Attachment 452512As near as I can tell, the RZM changed these tags on a continuing basis as part of the effort to defeat fakery at the time, which is a hoot since we are still struggling with all of this since the tags are faked even now.

Friedrich-Berthold,

Another of a series of marvelously educational and informative threads.

I thank you for posting it.

Your images are always pertinent and add colour and depth to your posts even where the casual observer may fail to see it. The story of the faker caught presenting his wares in flagrante delicto is particularly interesting.

I'll bet that at least then, one could count on the police to take quick action as it concerned the faking of these materials.

I am glad this knowledge is of use to you. Needless to say, much treasure and effort went into this analysis.

Interesting that mfgr. # 85 does not have a 'double' circle around the RZM and has slightly different printing font??

Thank you, dear colleague, a fine encyclopaedia and better organized than mine. My best to you, FB

Might I note that this is a fake, however.
