The requirement for RZM marks on Party material took effect in December 1934. A few items contracted for by the SS were maker marked and dated "34" or "35" but most items just had the RZM in a circle. The regulations for both the RZM mark and the manufacturer's code on Party material took effect in December 1935. At a guess, I would think that badge was made between December 1934 and the end of 1935.
