Schießplatzmeister Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hello Noor:Your RAO IV is of the type awarded from approximately 1890 until 1918. This particular piece however I would guess was definately made prior to 1914. I believe that the "N" marking on the ring stands for the maker "Neuhaus" but I may be mistaken as I am away from my reference library at the moment.Unfortunately, almost all RAO IV badges that are damaged have damage to the center. So, your chances of finding a center piece in good condition are probably rather slim.Best regards,"SPM" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike K Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 My first impression is that the ring may be a replacement. Imo it is too large, it is not joined and the join is off center. The ring is more likely from an EK2.RegardsMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
