I am not able to enlarge the pics to view. You will need to post better pics unless it is my computer.

As already mentioned the picture is nowhere near good enough for an accurate identification but it looks very much like like an aluminium dinner plate such have been used by many armies in the field when a field kitchen type of service is accessible. Hard to imagine that kind of thing being faked unless it has an LAH monogram etc!

Looks like an ordinary plate that somebody slapped fake markings on. An RZM stamp and a WaffenAmt marking would never be seen alongside each other. They were quality control stamps for two entirely different things. The former was for political and related material, the latter for military equipment.

I agree entirely. I'm at work using my mobile phone so I couldn't see the stamps at all in the first pics but in any case they look to have been applied well after the plate became so beaten up.by BrodieBartfast

It also looks like the S.S. mark was going to be stamped here and was not completed..
I'd rather be A "RaD Man than a Mad Man "
Looking at it now on a full sized screen, I think the marks were cast in when the plate was made last week!Nothing good about this at all I'm afraid

Hello,
IMO your first thought is the right one...
and they did not forget to add a Waffen-Amt....armament inspectors had no rifles, guns or bayonets to check this special day, so they decided to check plates, just to make sure....
Thanks
