A few related snippets that I found recently:

all initial-issue badges with a serial number below 40000 were issued prior to March 1936.

You don't have permission to view attachments.

In June 1936 the RJF seems to be saying that was only one maker at this point:

You don't have permission to view attachments.

So, all initial-issue badges with a serial number below 40000 had been issued prior to March 1936 and in June 1936 the RJF
is reported to have stated that there was only one manufacturer at that point. This must be Hoffstätter meaning that M1/70 initial-issue badges in the 8000-9000 range can't therefore be legitimate. A replacement badge with a low issue number for example "B 1234" can, of course, date to as late as 1939 and will not necessarily have been made by the maker who produced the initial-issue badge.



Evidence for the badge being awarded for long service only:

Jo, I noticed in post 4 that you have some FHB badges listed. Are these considered good now? I think there was some discussion about them in the past and they were thought to be fakes at that time?

M1/120 B106560

You don't have permission to view attachments.

Not for the list, just another example of a "B + serial" M1/120

 

[Garry]

Here's another FHB:

You don't have permission to view attachments.

Like Crack, I thought these were questionable Jo. I assume that you've had a microlook at them and that they are good?

Some for consideration for the list:

No, never had one, never looked at one

Okay, cool. Cheers Jo

Deschler an Paulmann had the contacts for the 70K range. This reads 170080?
It it really does say just 70080, then it needs to be looked at in detail, as the number is just wrong for this maker/style/marking/period. Unless there is a B? We have had a few strange B numbered badges with these markings.
Got better images/link?

All badge numbers up until this post added to post 1.

That's the only pic I have unfortunately Jo. I have a few more in my lists in this range that I haven't added to this thread yet but they are indeed all M1/78 badges so this M1/120 is definitely an oddity. Certainly looks honest going by that pic but hopefully the owner will post better pics on a forum at some point. I wish I could remember where I found it but I'm pretty sure that the page only showed one pic each of obverse and reverse in this quality.
