Need some help with ID and values on three pins, please.

The left one has no markings on the front but is well made with an enamel insert. The middle one is cheaply made of plated tin with N.S.B.O. on the front. The right one is better made.

Reverse of the other two. Middle one - NSOB - is unmarked on the rear and the plating is coming off a little. The right one has RZM at the top, GesGesch on the left, and "85" on the right.

Any help appreciated.

Dave

The first one is "Badge of the SA-Reserve" for members of the Kyffhäuserbund who joined the SA. Value is around $50-65.
The second is for membership in the N.S.B.O, "National Sozialistische Betriebszellen-Organization" National Socialist Factory-workers Organisation, later incorparated into the DAF. Value is around $35.
Third is for National Sozialistische HAGO. N.S. Organization des Handels, Handwerks und Gewerbes, N.S Organisation for Commerce, Handicraft and Trade. Value is around $35.

Agreed. The mark under the pin of the SA reserve should be a makers mark.
