Buy in haste, repent at leisure.
An old comrades association badge I just bought.
Not sure of the organisation, but I am pretty sure that there is a small Iron cross missing from the centre of the badge. I've seen a post with this badge on somewhere but I can't find it.
Have you got it Don.
A confirming picture would be nice if someone has one, and the proper name of the organisation.
Regards,
Pete

Hi Pete, What a travesty, yes it should have an EK in the middle  . I'm afraid I don't have one yet, but here is a scan of the 25 & 40 from Hüsken's catalogue. Please excuse the distorted shape of the 25, but I couldn't get the page flat...... The badge is round in the book It's a 25yr membership badge for the NS Deutscher Marinebund (NSDMB), it also came in 40 & 50 Year versions. Cheers Don

Another unusual one.
The Steirischer Heimatbund, formed in the Austrian region of Styria, & after the invasion of Yogolslavia, from Volksdeutsche in Untersteiermark (Slovenian Štajerska).
The badges came in two sizes, a large (3.5cm) plastic form shown here & a smaller (2cm) size, usually made of metal.
Cheers

Here's the set including both sizes if badge, the Wehrmannschaft pass showing the symbol, Mitglied card, fully stamped until early 1945 & the Kennkarte.
The Wehrmannschaft were formed to combat the Partisans & defend against the approaching Red Army.

Here's one you don't see everyday. A Führer's badge for the NSDFBSt (Nationalsozialistischer Deutscher Frontkämpferbund (Stahlhelm) ). These were worn on the cross strap of the Sam Browne belt.

Same again but this time unmarked. I believe these are the only two forms available, I don't think there was another maker.

An aside. This item ran afoul of the shipping gremlins. Got cracked near the lower point.
The dealer, Mr. Gambino, has been more than fair.

Thanks Joe.
Here's my latest. Not quite in the condition I like but it's taken me forever to find one, so it will have to do until a better one comes along.
The black bordered Reichsverband des Kraftfahrgewerbes membership badge. Now to find the red bordered version......
Cheers

Time to wake this sleeping beast of a thread again  I don't think we've seen this one here. Reichsverband deutscher Fleischbeschauer und Trichinenschaur Verbände (RdFuTr), basically meat & intestine inspectors for human consumption. Again the badge isn't as bright as it looks, the scanner strikes again. Cheers Don

Thank you Gentlemen.
Here's an unusual one & a recent find. Probably the only item in my collection that doesn't have a swastika (not including SS items).
The scan doesn't really do this badge justice, it's very crisply struck with sharp definition.
Opferring for the Gau Hessen-Nassau.
Cheers
Don

No problem Joe, it's 20mm, a little smaller than a party badge.

Here's an interesting little pin for the Kampfbund für deutsche Kultur (KfdK). The organisation was only in existance between 1929 - 1934.
Usually when we see painted or Lacquered pins we associate them with late war. However this cannot be the case with these, I wonder then if it is the opposite - very early period when people could not afford the luxery of an enamel badge & paid less for painted?
In case anyone is wondering, the odd shape on top of the inverted triangle is supposed to represent the winged helmet of mercury.....
Cheers
Don
