WOW...........This is either an ultra rare version (Which it isn't) or an outright fake (which it is)
Description of the proficiency badge.......The reverse is stamped with the individual serial number 558. It is also RZM stamped followed by M1/15, indicating production by Ferdinand Hoffstätter...
Acquired these badges from my grandfather, and am having a hard time identifying these, since they are semi-civilian. Any help would be so appreciated. The double pronged is dated 1943 and is mettallic, the triangle has a small RZ encapsulated in an M logo with a M1/15 across the top.
Hi guys!
Today i get this BDM Achievement Badge with the very low number 20.
The badge is marker marked with M1/15 and RZM.
I think this badge is a silver one, because you find rests of the silvering on the surface.
The underground is like copper or buntmetall...but please take a look on that...
