Hi Joe,

You can if you want or not .. I'll try to add some here.

Violin, the top is from the Prussian State veterans club, The second I forget, Badischer
something, hmm? The third is from the national-level veterans association and the fourth comes from a hiking/nature club in the Pfalz-region forests.

You could spend a whole lifetime collecting veterans (Kriegerverein) pins, badges and decorations, still plenty of neat ones out there at fairly reasonable prices. Nice find!

Bill

Thamks guys for your help. Feel free to move to any forum you like. I did not have a clue what each of these stood for. However, They came from a collection in which I recieved a more significant item. These were just along for the ride so to speak. Who they belonged to is perhaps more significant--- Generaloberst Franz Ritter von Halder, chief of Hitler's general staff. The provenance is clear cut. I will show the main item when I get the photos done on Houston Coates' Forum so you might keep an eye out for it. Thanks for youe help
