Thank you Gentlemen, it really is an oddity. It measures 31 x 28mm at it's widest points.
Cheers

I thought the opposite,,each Gau was set up as a small administration region for the NSDAP and altogether formed 'Greater Germany'.
Gau 16 is Brandenburg / Berlin...

quote: Here's one that I do not know what to make of it. At first I though it was a tinnie, but there is no specific date. It's silver marked 800 on the reverse (can't see it in the scan as it's too small).
Hi Don, Its listed as a tinnie, remember that some tinnies were produced in silver either as a special presentation piece for a distinguished visitor, or perhaps on regular sale for those richer folks or donators. Pete

I'm sorry to say that I can't find much out about them at all. If I can turn more up I'll post it.
Cheers

Joe, these are so well made for their size are they not?
Marcus, this is an Opferring badge, I'm not sure whether they were worn by the person employed by the organisation or whether they were given for membership. This particular one is for the Koblenz-Trier Gau.
Cheers
Don

Time to awaken the thread again. This time with a recent addition.
Another Opferring badge, this one marked on the reverse for the Kreis Jena-Stadtroda & merked with a manufacturs symbol which has been suggested could be William Hobacher.....
Cheers
Don

The images are here but everything is scrambled. Wish I'd left it as it was. But time was closing in on it. Will try to make some sense of it later.  Sorry all. --dj--Joe

With everyones indulgence, I will atempt to rearrange the content of this thread. It was 12 pages long. Too much to wade through in my opinion. I have deleted many of my own replies and attempts at keeping it going  . Down to 10 pages now. Open to ideas. What I am considering is breaking it into groupings. Our format makes possibilities limited. Will do my best to salvage the images. At least with a Dec. 07 date they should be safe from corruption. --dj--Joe

I've just found this old thread again from a few years ago. I'm sure that we all have some new items we can post, here are a few of mine....
First, another of the ships wheel series (a couple of others are posted earlier), this one with the KdF flag.
Cheers
Don

A nice pair of pins from the Reichsbund der deutschen Freilicht- und Volksschauspiele e.V.
The first is the standard membership pin & the other is the honour pin made in silver.

I can add this one.
Reichstreubund. 25yr.
I have in my notes that this was a career soldiers organization. Is that correct?

--dj--Joe That's correct Joe, as opposed to those who just volunteered because of the conflict or those who were conscripted. Nice piece. FYI, these badges & pins were only made by one maker, Gante of Berlin. Cheers Don

--dj--Joe You mean like this one  Mind you, looking at the fixing I assume it's either a cap or collar device rather than a members badge..... Notice once again that it's made by Gante of Berlin. Cheers Don
