Dude, no need to shit on me... Only trying to learn, it was a gift from my dad, i dont know anything about EMs. Nobody can be a walking library, ok?

It's a really obvious fake one and Mark was (I'm quite sure) trying to say that a quick search would have made that fact immediately apparent.

Cheers, Ian.

Ive also show'd it to other collectors and they told me that it was a early style, on the end you dont know what to believe anymore. And my dad dont got internet, so he cant research when he wants to buy presents. His intentions were good...

You are joking right ? The early style would have had 'SS-Verfugungstruppe' on it. These discs would never have the fake 'RZM' type SS stamp.

Good news

Lesson here is study first, buy second OR get really good photographs and ask people that really know.

Cheers, Ian.

Yeah, and dont trust a lot of dealers

You should NEVER trust a dealer implicitly and unquestioningly (except JohnG of course ), you need to build up your own knowledge base, do due diligence on the items you may wish to buy ... that way you can shop anywhere and you MAY even be able to pick up a bargain by knowing more about an item than the seller does.
