I know that this isn't really the forum for docs but I posted a picture of my Kliengärtner doc with a badge the other day & thought that I show a couple of others.

Please forgive & add yours if you have any....

First the NS Altherrenbund.

Cheers
Don

Opfer-ring.

This one is interesting as I suspect that the owner was also a badge collector as there is only the initial stamp inside, just enough to get him the badge.

The badge is for the Sachsen Gau which matches the Ort.

Lastly the Stenografenschaft. I'm afraid that the colour burnt out a little here for some reason. The cover is a deep blue.

Great idea! I unfortunately have none to share so will sit back and enjoy. I long to tie items together in groupings but continue to get distracted.

Thanks, --dj--Joe

Don, I can forgive you !! Big Grin Thank you very much for posting your badges and their documents. I really appreciate it. The documents give the feeling that I can " touch history " a bit more .

Thanks lads.

Fritziii, it's not one of the more common ones but I wouldn't go as far as to say rare. There are other Steno' badges that are far rarer.

Cheers
Don

Don, would you consider, as time allows posting an informative thread on the Steno' badges? I for one and I am sure others would appreciate it.

I'll give it a go. Unfortunately I only have three badges, one members lapel & one members stickpin & a golden honour stickpin. All unmarked, I'm wondering if any were ever maker marked.

Once I track down some of the other Steno' badges out there I'll sort something out.

Cheers
Don

This is too interesting of a thread to languish in the back pages.
Any other Organisation badges out there with documents?
I am working on one and will post it if I get it. Smile

Here's one I've been meaning to post for a while. Unfortunately most of the silvering has worn from the badge so it doesn't show up so well. I've been waiting for a nicer one to turn up but it hasn't so far.

Cheers
Don

Don, Nice set. Thanks.
I actually prefer the worn badges they seem much more convincing to me. I know wear can be reproduced but the difference between buffed and use worn can usually be detected.
I like Robert's 2nd. example on GMIC. Perhaps we could get him to swing bye and post it?

Congrats on a nice find. --dj--Joe

Thanks Joe, I don't think Robert knows about this forum I'll ask.

Andy,

Nice to see you over here. I'm jealous of your NSDFBSt book, been looking for one for ages well done! What maker is the badge please?

Cheers
Don

This is an invitation & a membership badge for the "Associazione Italo Germanica di Cultura" (The German-Italian Culture Association). The Italian equivalent of the German "Deutsche-Italienische Kulturgesellschaft", an organisation whose remit was to promote closer relations between Germany & Italy through their love of art & culture etc

Back to the Landesschießen, a certificate & awards for the 3 year Gaumeister badge. The larger badge is serial numbered to the document (number on the doc is obscured by the large badge)

Don, was the DAFJ pin a short lived emblem? Got a feeling it will be a cold day before I run across one. Smile

I'm not sure Joe, I imagine so. Probably taken over by the HJ.

Joe,

You're absolutely right! Those are some fantastic photographs and thanks to all of you for sharing your wonderful sets with us. I mean that stuff is really first-class and just a pleasure to look at.

Great work gents. Smile

I think that I may have a couple more but will need to find & photograph them first. It may take a while before I have the time....

Sorry

Sorry Joe I still haven't had the time to dig out some bits & photograph them.

In the meantime here are a couple of bits that I think that you have seen before on another forum. However due to the large size of the document (A3), if I were to place the pin on it to take a picture it would be too small to make out any details.

So here they are separately.

It's an "award" in recognition of the volunteers of the 1914/18 war. "Kameradschaft der Kriegsfreiwilligen von 1914/18" in the NS Reichskriegerbund. As you can see by the thickness of the stickpin, the badge is tiny which is why I didn't put it on the doc to photograph it. No marking on the reverse except for a silver mark.
