Buy in haste, repent at leisure. An old comrades association badge I just bought. Not sure of the organisation, but I am pretty sure that there is a small Iron cross missing from the centre of the badge. I've seen a post with this badge on somewhere but I can't find it. Have you got it Don. A confirming picture would be nice if someone has one, and the proper name of the organisation. Regards, Pete

Hi Pete, What a travesty, yes it should have an EK in the middle . I'm afraid I don't have one yet, but here is a scan of the 25 & 40 from H�sken's catalogue. Please excuse the distorted shape of the 25, but I couldn't get the page flat...... The badge is round in the book It's a 25yr membership badge for the NS Deutscher Marinebund (NSDMB), it also came in 40 & 50 Year versions. Cheers Don

Another unusual one.
The Steirischer Heimatbund, formed in the Austrian region of Styria, & after the invasion of Yogolslavia, from Volksdeutsche in Untersteiermark (Slovenian �tajerska).
The badges came in two sizes, a large (3.5cm) plastic form shown here & a smaller (2cm) size, usually made of metal.

Here's the set including both sizes if badge, the Wehrmannschaft pass showing the symbol, Mitglied card, fully stamped until early 1945 & the Kennkarte.
The Wehrmannschaft were formed to combat the Partisans & defend against the approaching Red Army.

Here's one you don't see everyday. A F�hrer's badge for the NSDFBSt (Nationalsozialistischer Deutscher Frontk�mpferbund (Stahlhelm) ). These were worn on the cross strap of the Sam Browne belt.

Same again but this time unmarked. I believe these are the only two forms available, I don't think there was another maker.

Any thoughts as to what organization this represents, if any? Stalhelm? Early political supporters pin? --dj--Joe Reverse.

An aside. This item ran afoul of the shipping gremlins. Got cracked near the lower point. The dealer, Mr. Gambino, has been more than fair. --dj--Joe

Due to the glare, the silvering isn't as bright as the scan shows

Thanks Joe.
Here's my latest. Not quite in the condition I like but it's taken me forever to find one, so it will have to do until a better one comes along.
The black bordered Reichsverband des Kraftfahrgewerbes membership badge. Now to find the red bordered version......

Time to wake this sleeping beast of a thread again I don't think we've seen this one here. Reichsverband deutscher Fleischbeschauer und Trichinenschaur Verb�nde (RdFuTr), basically meat & intestine inspectors for human consumption. Again the badge isn't as bright as it looks, the scanner strikes again. Cheers Don

Thank you Gentlemen.
Here's an unusual one & a recent find. Probably the only item in my collection that doesn't have a swastika (not including SS items).
The scan doesn't really do this badge justice, it's very crisply struck with sharp definition.
Opferring for the Gau Hessen-Nassau.
Cheers Don

No problem Joe, it's 20mm, a little smaller than a party badge.

Here's an interesting little pin for the Kampfbund f�r deutsche Kultur (KfdK). The organisation was only in existance between 1929 - 1934.
Usually when we see painted or Lacquered pins we associate them with late war. However this cannot be the case with these, I wonder then if it is the opposite - very early period when people could not afford the luxery of an enamel badge & paid less for painted?
In case anyone is wondering, the odd shape on top of the inverted triangle is supposed to represent the winged helmet of mercury.....
