Flag, Sport, Shooting and Kieler Woche Pins!
I have thins Flag pin but I do not know anything about? Does somebody have any information on that? I have never seen another one like it. I also have the Kieler Woche pin, a Sports pin and a shooting club pin. If you have any information on any of them that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help. JME

Hi JME, Kieler Woche - Kiel week is an annual sailing event. Kiel Germany.
I always thought it was an enamel tinnie.

You are correct regarding the Kieler Woche Joe, it is usually found as a hollow back tinnie, but occasionally does turn up as a solid back enamel. I guess different quality badges for different budgets, therefore everyone could afford one.
Regarding the others,
The flag badge worries me a little, the white of the enamel looks a little too white. It could be the lighting, but could also indicate a modern piece. If you look at it under magnification, are there any black specks in the white enamel?
The NSRL is the gold leistungsabzeichen for the Nationalsozialistiche Reichsbund f�r Leibes�bungen. Basically a sports achievement pin, a certain grade had to be attained in sports to receive one.
The last badge is not a shooting pin but a membership badge for the Bund Heimattreuer Schlesier, one of the early right wing nationalist groups.
Hope this helps

Hi Joe & Don,
Thank you for your comments. I looked at the Flag and do not see any spots. The Flag pin is rather small and I was told that it was supposed to be a very rare piece. I looked with a lupe but did not use the microscope. Thank you again for your input. JME
