There is no info on this medal none for sale anywhere and no discussions I can find. So here is an example I just found up here in CANADA eh and would like to hear some thoughts. The maker number rzm 9/72 has been found on fake party badges and even the RZM M9 designation is for tinnies but many small dealers did use their number for other items.

Further this award in pin back was discontinued as of 1938 so must be very scarce.

Hello,
I am pretty sure I have read on this forum or others that these fire fighter awards with the maker kolwitz are considered to be bogus.
Hope to hear other opinions but I do believe they are bogus.

yes I agree that is what it appears an older fake.
