Funny stamp. It looks like a stamp of a "rabbit breeder organisation". Kaninchenz�chter = Rabbit Breeder Reichsfachgruppe = Reich Section Sonderverein = Special Organisation der = of the Selbstverwerter = difficult to translate, but I would guess "self exploiter" von = of Kaninchenerzeugnissen = rabbit products Palenberg is a German city at the boarder to the Netherlands. http://maps.google.de/maps?q=Palenberg,+Germany&sa=X&oi=map&ct=title

Interesting! Right now I noticed letters RDKL in the center of stamp... These are the same as on aluminium "rings" often found with other german III. reich items... They were pictured here on forum, but posts probably disappeared. Does anybody know what those letters means?
I can post pics of nice "ring" example found few weeks ago...

and last... They are always found along with other III. reich items (awards) but I never met any explanation for them... Made of aluminium, this one blue eloxed (anodized, electrolytically oxidized)

Jan, the ring - crazy as it might sound,,I've heard those are rings that get crimped on carrier pigeons!
Well, lets hope this is so crazy someone sees it and will respond,,but its what I've heard!

Thank you Jan! Gaspare, this does look like bird leg bands that I have seen. Makes sense to me.

A bird leg ring? It was my first idea but the size?! 20mm diameter - what German bird had such leg? Party eagle? ;-)
Maybe some soldiers wore it for luck, but it still sounds strange to me...
