Deutschland Erwache pin
here's some close ups of my Deutschland Erwache pin it is maker marked on the back M1 / 73

Hi Cameron,

Well, apart from one I'd say these last ones are fine originals.... However, bad news on the Deutschland Erwache I'm afraid. These (& other slogan badges/pins) were made in the 1920's, long before the RZM was created. Even if they were made later, they were not party sanctioned therefore not required to have the RZM markings. These should either have just the Ges.Gesch, or a maker's name/mark & Ges.Gesch.

Sorry...
Don

Hi Don, thanks for making my day (again), lol, I even looked it up and a maker does exist for this number it's 1M/ 73-Karl Erbacher-Pforzheim, So the Great British Auction Houses win again,🫣

Oh yes, the fakers are sneaky like that, they choose RZM numbers that exisited.

Incidentally, a good little reference book on the subject is Stephen Lautens' (known on many forums as sjl) "A collectors guide to the RZM marks of the NSDAP". 3rd edition, published in 2004. It covers things like this...

Cheers Don, I've already been looking for this book no luck yet but I'll keep going until i find it
Cheers for pointing me in the right direction again, cheers Cambo 👍

Thanks Joe for sending me this link, absolutely fantastic I'm in awe over some of those sets
Utterly mind blowing!, cheers Cambo

I've started to redo the stickpins I haven't finished yet but here's what I've done so far, I bought some polystyrene sheets then I used a small pin to make some holes in the polystyrene
I then added the pins and badges, and when my new frame arrives, I shall stick the Polystyrene sheet in using some Velcro, i think it will look better, Cheers Cambo

Like the RLB pins and the droop tail Luftwaffe eagle. post a pic when you have it framed and completed. Looking good.

Hi Luftbud, Thanks For the comment, I'm just waiting for the shadow box
So I'll post a finished picture as soon as possible, cheers Cambo

You're getting some nice pieces there. I see that you have a couple of RTB badges (Reichstreubund ehemaliger Berufssoldaten). I thought that I would show you an old scan of the pieces that I had at the time. I've since added a couple more....

Wow, Don.

No wonder I never see any at shows
