Hi All,
1 Did one of those makers recover their Licenses? I mean, not particularly those but ANY.
2 Did any Maker produce badges even after losing their licenses?
3 Are there also Mittleilungsblätter for 1936 onwards?

HI Antonio
see images for more.
1-No, of the mentioned M1/ makers, none of them are mentioned again as having the license back, and they would need to, because in the quoted numbers, above each it says that the company has no longer got a license, meaning that nobody should order from them again. (official insignia for M1/ - it could be that makers had more than just a M1/ and could still make other, official things)
There are examples of when a makers number appears as withdrawn, but then 2-4 weeks later, a new announcement is made saying that the RZM got the number wrong, (and then they correct it) or stating something like "Maker XXX was announced as loosing his number for [whatever reason] .. but they actually handed the number in on their own accord." - in other words, when the RZM made a mistake, they corrected it later, in-print. This shows us that it was like a Wall Of Shame list, and if a maker did, find his name and M1/ number in the announcement paper, UNFAIRLY, surely there would be another mention by the RZM if they got back the number, or if the RZM made a mistake. They would surely not just have been quiet about it. Otherwise it would be negative for the company, to still have their name in-print as loosing the license...
2-We will never know the answer to this. In the beginning, around the very early 30`s, makers, even those who had a RZM contract,(for certain items) were sometimes doing what they wanted, and producing badges they should not have been, so i imagine this kind of thing went on in the early years, but after the RZM clamped down, and got tough - around the end of 1934, to mid-1935, i dont see how a maker could loose his license, be mentioned in the RZMmtbl. as having no more permission to produce [a certain item(s)] - and then continue. There are, anyway no mentioned cases of this happening with M1/ makers. (Maybe with others, textile, etc it happened as was mentioned i dont know)
If you add up all the LOST RZM licenses (all licenses, sellers, grosshändler, manufactures - all kinds) between mid-1934-to early 1936, you will reach over 2000 !! And when you compare these figures, to those after, (as well as dates) we see exactly when the RZM started to get tough. Surely before this time it was very hard for the RZM to "Control" all their over 100,000 license holders.. but after this time, there was surely not as much Foolery going on as before. I would suggest, that any maker who is mentioned in-print, after the RZMmtbl. came out, - as loosing the license - and who is never mentioned again - did never get back the license.
(This does not mean that a M1/ maker who lost, or gave back, the license, did not longer make small badges, for example, or even small NS-badges.. it happened, but it was just not official NS badges they produced.)
3-Yes, i have not all, but many, but if i look at how many people have actually viewed them here since i posted them (same goes for the UM-DuZ) then it is not worth my time to scan and upload. I was busy after i started that, but it is something i will not continue because the interest is just not there. The UM is equally as interesting, and all of them are uploaded here. (but how many have viewed them in one year ? not many!!!) I have them all uploaded on my site too, but the sad reality is, since over 1 year now, how many "customers" or people have clicked on the separate PDFs to read or even look at them? 3... yes,
THREE PEOPLE! About 300-500 visitors each day, sometimes 10,000 clicks on the RESEARCH page each month, yet in one year, only THREE people have bothered to open up the PDFs?
