It just occurred to me that you can't really see the details on the Missinary items so here they are again.

Both of the pins have the dates 1483 & 1933 on the reverse with a Swaz between them. 1483 is the birth date of Martin Luther, a priest & professor of theology, who also wrote a great deal on anti semitism.

I've lightened the colour etc to the reverse of the larger pin to try & show the details....

I've not seen this before either. I was aware of a 1933 dated Luther Tag (tinnie), no swastikas and just a maker on the reverse.
Most interesting the way these pins are made with the reverse engraving. The rope border appears to be raised.
Thank you Don for sharing.

Regards, and happy holidays, --dj--Joe

Thank you Joe & Bill. Joe, yes the rope is raised & can be felt if you run you finger nail across the back.

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to both of you.

Cheers
Don

Thought I'd dust the camera off again, although I think I need a new one as I can't seem to get any decent results from it these days.

Here's the Deutshe Rechtsfront set, the document is oil cloth.

Thank you Gentlemen.

Dean,
The sole maufacturer of these were Klotz u. Kienast, & originals are always marked.

I've attached a shot of the mark. I also thought you'd like to see a shot of it alongside the much rarer honour pin.

Cheers
Don

Thanks a lot Don for that info and the additional pictures.
I didn't know the honor pin even existed.
These pins have a very cool look to them imo.
Would anyone happen to know the criteria for wearing these?
Thanks

I'm glad that you like them Dean. The ordinary pin was a membership pin for the organisation. I suspect that the honour version was either for long membership or for service to the organisation.


Here's a 10 year service doc & badge for the company of Philipp Holzmann A.G. It also came in silver & gold for 15 & 20 years respectively.

Cheers
Don

Thanks Joe. Here are a couple of better images of the badge.

Another Holzmann item that is more common is their "Limes medal" issued for the building of the west wall... It's a Zinc piece so has lost most of it's finish, but the bronze wash can still be seen on the reverse where it has been protected by the case.

Cheers
Don

Agreed. I don't see the nonportable awards anymore. Used to see them every now and then. The finish on Don's example is quite nice.

Here is mine. All the pins are the stick variety with different marker marks.

Here's something from an organisation that we do not know much about the "Reichsbund der deutschen Freilicht- und Volksschauspiele e.V." roughly translated as the Reich League of German Open-air and popular dramas.

I can't say 100% which, if either, of the pins shown belong to the Urkund however they do look nice together.

Cheers
Don

Don, I recall your finding these interesting org. badges. I've had my eyes peeled ever since with no luck. smile

Very nice document. If I recall correctly the emblem is a plant, and? Can't find my notes.

In 1936, Hitler authorized the NS Musterbetriebe comptetition amongst German factories and businesses to celebrate those who followed the DAF guidelines for worker's health,housing and education. Annual awards were presented each May Day follwing a yearlong competition with awards first appearing in 1938 and through most of the war years. For those competitors that satisfied the three guidelines, the award was the NS Musterbetriebe. The business could fly the DAF flag with the golden DAF wheel and show the iron award sign on their wall, while the business owner and DAF Business Obmann both were awarded numbered gold NS Musterbetriebe stick pins. The first pins were 333 gold which later disappeared. Here is one awarded plus the Besitzurkunde. This pin #679 was awarded to Betriebesobmann (Factory DAF Foreman) Heinrich Ohlenforst in 1941 for the accomplishment of his factory in the 1940/41 contest.
