HELP!
I just purchased a Westmark D.V.G. (LOTHR) Nazi badge and im a bit skepitical as to its authenticity. It seems to have the right petina but the only markings on the back are the M1/129 mark and the RZM circular mark directly above the M1/129. Also the swazi is brilliant red and enameled but dosent seem to have the "pebbling" so obvious on other badges. I read on another forum that the M in M1 is often the way to tell if you have a fake. If it's fake the M will be rounded on top or look similar to the Mcdonalds M. Mine looks like niether. The M on mine is sharply squared off at the tops.
I purchased from a very reputable dealer in my home town, not knowing that this badge is highly faked. I'm new to badge collecting so any help will be greatly appreciated.
