Richard,
First, I want to thank you for presenting these items for the forum members to look at and study. With the following being my impressions of what has been brought forward for discussion. And whether or not you happen to agree or not with any of my opinions. I want you to know that I am putting forth my best honest effort to be “straight up” with you, based on my own personal past experiences in this collecting field. And from what I have gathered from other serious minded collectors.
The German Navy - “RZM” marked frog has multiple problems: 1) the Navy marking 2) the individual hand stamps 3) the overlapping zeros, and another issue that I don’t particularly want to disclose. So I have an exceptionally low confidence level that it’s real.
