On the suspension ring , there is a hallmark with SILBER and CFZ (manufacturer).

CFZ is Zimmermann in Pforzheim-Germany

Is this a genuine badge? There are some differences from the badge posted a while ago by aviatiadasenzatia (see below), namely the crown and the ribbon suspension loop.

General de armata Group: Members Posts: 2250 Member No.: 136 Joined: November 06, 2003	One more badge with (casting?) faults on the eagles. Any comments? Source: Internet auction

It shares some characteristics with the two badges above, but there are also some differences: thin motto ring, opaque green enamel on the wreath, wavy pattern on the obverse medallion, dotted pattern on the reverse medallion. This particular badge also seems to have some filling defects of the enamel on the obverse as well as some asymmetry and excess metal on the reverse arms of the cross.

In my opinion, both pieces posted by you are ok!
There are not made by the "standard" manufacturers like Resch,Weiss or MN !!!
I have saw a lot of such pieces.

Thanks b737. Do you happen to know who the manufacturer was?
