Reinhard2, you can believe what you want as well. Regardless of the purpose I still don't think Plakette = Abzeichen as I have yet to see the terms used interchangeably in period publications. And yes, there were silver 1933 RPT badges of real silver, one of which was also in the the ambassador's lot I acquired. I have, however not seen any real silver RPT badges from any of the other years nor have I seen any documentation, photographic or otherwise, that honor guests received cased badges/table medals though I would certainly not think this out of the realm of possibility. I have seen silver table medals but I don't think their purpose has truly been established.
