Original item: One-of-a-kind. This is a wartime heavy iron enameled vaulted sign. This is a very robust well-made sturdy sign, with typical construction details of German government signage. It is white with red outline, a red RZM symbol and a black eagle with swas and deep black classic wartime German Gothic lettering that reads:
This loosely translates to: For the production of official custody entitled for all derbies of the National Socialist German Workers Party. Reichszeugmeisterei of the N.S.D.A.P
Condition is generally good with expected areas of surface rust, staining and scuffing from years of exposure to the elements. The plaque measures 15 inches high by 15 inches wide.
Signs of this nature were quickly destroyed after the fall of Germany in April 1945, ones like this were salvaged by USGIs who wanted to bring home a trophy of war. Therefore, finding authentic (beware many fakes) porcelain building signs from the Third Reich has become quite difficult in the collectors market.
