I believe the seal indicates that this particular specimen was submitted to the governing authority for approval to manufacture.

Hi
May be I'm not in the truth but Lothar Hartung is a german known collector and dealer. He sold many things, and good things. May be this is just a garantie of authenticity from this dealer.
just an opinion.

After reading Weitze's description of the badge again, (Mit angängender Expertisen-Plombe von Hartung) , Jaqcues reply does sound very plausible and besides the metal seal does have "Hartung Garantie" stamped on it.

I did have an old authenticity letter of Hartungs and the logo on the metal seal looks like how he signed the first 2 initials of his name in his signature. (?)

No doubt a quick email to the Weitze team will answer this question.

Didnt Adrian Forman tag badges as well?

[Tony Barto]

I'm always learning something new every day!! Jacques explanation makes perfect sense now that I look at the tag closely.

Yes, it´s Lothar Hartungs seal.

Thank you gentlemen for your help in this matter.
