So far as I understood, there is no sign of material fake. Only the lack of a registered RZM factory made your opinion. Why arent any other doubtless items high quality reproductions. Regards: NW
Sorry mate, dont have a clue what you are on about? M1/123 is not an unknown maker, neither is M1/129, it is just that, until today, no small genuine enamel badges are known with their number.
No, the lack of a refernce to an "unknown" number is no reason to doubt, this i have written about and said many times, and can prove with genuine badges by RZM 33, M1/145 .. the list is long of numbers that we dont know who they belonged too, but they did, 100% produce small badges at a certain time. (With RZM 33 this "time" was the transitional period- after this, NO genuine badges are known with M1/33 because there never was such a number.
The same with M1/4, although every list you find contains M1/4, there was actually never such a number, they lost the RZM license "RZM 4" for small badges before there was a M1/ system.
I wont bother trying to discuss more with you about this badge, because the images are small, and it really doesnt make any difference what i say. It is fake for sure, 100%, but if you want to believe otherwise, why not?
many collectors are living in denial, and accept things that never were as genuine, i dont mind. Just sharing some info thats all, and really no desire at all to continue down this road, or with this maker.
