I just found this thread which pre-dates my own membership here!
So, I thought I would add my own example of this significant little pin. I know the thread title specifies "K&Q" and that mine is not maker marked but it seems logical to put it here.
I find this a very interesting and important aspect of the history of the Third Reich and one of which even most collectors are unaware but it helps the understanding of how the regime developed.
In many ways, an individuals support of the tenets represented by this symbol speak more loudly than the NSDAP pin of attitudes prevalent at the time.
This example is made of brass and enamel with both the Ges. Gesch and RZM marks which marries up with the "transitional" period NSDAP pins and I believe makes it one of the earliest badges. It proved quite difficult to photograph due to the colour of the enamel and the prevailing light (it's pouring down again!!) but the finishers file marks can be seen under the final plating which, along with the quality of the enamel and the clearly visible pebbling under the red is a very good sign.
I hope you like it as much as I do.
Regards
Mark

Hi Mark,
Your example of this badge is absolutely stunning, condition is really excellent. Superb piece, I like it so much. Thank you for sharing it.
Best regards,

I think your badge is a 20 year old fake Mark.
All the Heim ins Reich badges were pre RZM days.
The only ones I can think of, off the top of my head that are considered original are K&Q = Klein and Quenzer, C.W. = Carl Wild, F.R =? (also copied with coffin shaped pin assembly), G.u.W O. = Gottlieb & Wagner, Oberstein, L.G S = Louis Gottlieb & Söhne,
Here is a link about the RZM Ges Gesch badges
