John, is your Assmann also marked DRGM?

"John, is your Assmann also marked DRGM?"

Certainly is, F..

For those who are unfamiliar with this marking, DRGM - (Deutsches Reichsgebrauchsmuster) - Nationally used pattern (pre-?45).

It showed that an item had the official approval of the government and was commended for nationwide use.

A working theory, it is my opinion that badges made by Assmann in aluminium (both wreath and eagle) have on the back:

Right: D.R.G.M.

Left: A OR double A

I would agree with you, in principal... however, I have come across unmarked examples, in aluminium, probably due to the replacement of the reverse die.
