I recently picked up a small tan jacket, which has a very faint RZM stamp at the back neck. I think it is a HJ shirt, and will post pictures soon.
There is a mark on the arm where a round badge, once was, and a badge (to my surprise) did come with the jacket. This badge is smaller than the mark on the jacket sleeve.
Is this badge real or repro?

Pics below.

This is different in construction to every DJ rune that I've ever seen.
I'm going to have to say bad.

You could use a black light to hit the white cloth and the stitching. This is not the be-all end-all method for determining fakes which have white fabric or stitching, but it does provide a useful vote in the authentication process. Get out a white sock from your drawer, and see how that glows under the light. A period insignia that has white, should just be dull white, no glow. Sometimes a period insignia that has been washed with today's detergents may show a little streaking glow, but it will be slight and not uniform.
