I always liked German Red Cross enamel badges ! Ok I like the edge weapons.armbands,badges and medals.

One of the first things I got as a kid from a vet was this Red Cross enamel badge! The one on the left! Larger one!


Anyone have something to show?

I posted a pic of boxed medal! Beautiful stuff!

Here's a little favourite of mine, this little DRK brooch was given out to the ladies who attended the 1939 ball in Vienna. Apparently in Austria it is a tradition to this day to give ladies who attend balls a small gift. This is only the third one of these that I have seen, so I assume not many have survived.

Here are closer images of the Norsk Tysk pin and the two Fredreland pins.

The Fredreland party (Freedom party) was the precursor of the Nasjonal Samling, Norway's Nazi party.

Ida Kohler was her name. She was a diehard member of the national socialist party.
