Just wanted to show one of my latest estate pick ups. Shown just the way I bought it from the vets nephew along with an ID'd schutzpolizei helmet I'll be showing on the helmet forum. Pinned to a panzer breast eagle along with a panzer collar tab and his US rifle marksmans medal. A very hard to locate enamel badge, shown in Cones book.

Don's excellent post on these pins appears to have dissapeared. I know it was post April 2005 we discussed it. If a member of GMIC check this link. http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7890&hl=steno--dj--Joe

Not positive how the grades worked. Membership for one and an honor grade but which is which? Off the top of my head I can think of one more style, a rectangular enameled piece with a border. Don Scowen has an example and an in wear image.
Robert's example also comes in silver and gold. I think Mazz's example is the membership pin. Someone please correct me if mistaken.

Indeed it is unclear what exactly the Ehrennadel was for. It came as a standard member pin like the one in Mazz's post, with a wreath around the lower half in either silver or gold (the silver version can occasionally be found in 900 silver). The gold version was changed to a rectanglular shape at some point as Joe mentions. I imagine that they were for length of membership in the organisation, or maybe seniority.
The oval style posted by Robert is a Leistungsabzeichen, an achievement or proficiency badge not unlike the H.J. sports badge that we are familiar with. A particular grade in an test had to be attained to qualify for the badge.
H�sken states in his catalogue that they came in bronze, silver & gold, however I've never seen a gold badge in that exact design. I strongly suspect that the gold oval version with a date bar accross the middle (listed by H�sken as a "Deutscher Meister" badge is infact the gold Leistungsabzeichen.
Cheers Don

Although I have no documentation to back this up, I had read some time ago that the blue enameled clipped diamond Stenographers Association pin was awarded/promoted by the Gabelsberger Academic School (which was also a publishing company).
Just some undocumented info I thought I would pass on for comment - I do not know how this affects the other steno varieties.
