Dear Dave, I would like to high light your thoughts on NAZI Marking. They were just as perdantic, they had the RZM, LDO marking which was regourously enforced. The production of Orders was stricktly controlled. Take the silver marking on Eagle Orders. The silver mark with maker mark on the 20July wound badge. As another example of the control, with very precise ramification, is illistrated by the markings on some Goring silver given to him on his wedding. They bear the silver content and makers mark. When this silver was loaned with the Caren II TO THE NAVY, EACH PIECE HAD A NAVAL EAGLE HAND ENGRAVED UPON IT WITH THE ORIGINAL MARKING. This was a very precise piece of work.They did not make a punch, this would have shown through the silver on the obverse.The silver produced by Zitner, was very carefully marked. Witness the silver frames of Hitler and Goring. The honour goblet, produced in silver, duely marked, that in alpaka stamped as such.One could go on.
