I know you found it in Europe,,,but those guys were everywhere!
The pin doesn't look German,,the anchor is really nice quality.. I think Andy nailed it,,Merchant Marine..

Hi Andy, yes, I thank you for your tip Merchant Marine !
Hi Gaspare, thanks for posting this American Merchant Marine badge ; there is much simularity in the anchors .

I don't think it is either one. Look at the rope.
The crest of various navies, merchant marines, etc are very detail conscious about that detail. Ask a Marine

I feel it has a good chance of being German manufacture. When and for what organization or simply adornment?

to Gaspare , your anchor ...... on the golden button, with the 3 lines on each site and the circle in the middle ......matches very good ..
to Derjager, that is a special way of making , just like my pin.
i've post better pics here of the anchor and the pin part .
