Don, I note the DRKB-Kyffhäuser Forderer badge has a solid base behind the swas. as opposed to an all white field such as seen on membership badges. Do you know if all of the DRKB-Kyffhäuser Forderer badges are like that or possibly a manufacturers variant?
I will look in my resource books.
I like the opaque red/orange enamel examples best. Nice to see the variations side by side.
Thanks for showing them.

--dj--Joe I can't honestly say for sure Joe, as I have only seen a couple of examples, & from memory I'm sure that they were the same. The one shown in Hüsken's catalogue is the same. Reading back through this thread again I see that there were a couple of NS Deutscher Marine Bund (NSDMB) items posted so I thought that I would add these. Don't know anything about them & have never seen any period reference to them supposidly long service badges, the 25 is very common & the 40 can sometimes be found, but I have only ever seen two examples of the 50..... I'll only post one reverse as they are all identical. Don

As with so many of these small organisational membership/enamel badges, there is so little period info readily available. There's probably some in the archives if someone had the time to search but..... I'll post a couple more Kriegerbund pieces that I have for which I have never seen any period info in a couple of days. Don

Thanks, Don for posting the NS Deutscher Marine Bund badges. The only local example I have seen was missing the small Iron Cross.

Happy New Year folks!!
Here are a couple more Kriegerbund pieces that I know virtually nothing about.
As some of you may be aware, for some reason Thüringen was a hotbed for unusual & these days unknown enamel badges. As seen in some of my other posts here, there seems to be a multitide of so far undocumented enamel from the Third Reich period.
Here are two large badges (6.5 cm, about 2 inches in length) badges for the Deutscher Reichskriegerbund. I assume by the number 25, that they are anniversary pieces.... However, so far I have never found any documentation for them.
Two forms one with the full name plus Thüringen under the shield, the other simply with the number. The reverse set up is similar however they are made by different manufacturers, the first by Scheideanstalt, Oberstein the second by R.Conrad, Weimar.
Enjoy....

Don, Have seen a few of these over the years. Sticker shock always held me back from purchasing. Thanks for showing. Nice sturdy attachment pin and catch for a heavy badge. I have not found any info. on them either. Perhaps someday you will find that illusive in wear image.  --dj--Joe

Don, I recall you had a badge "Kameradschaft der Kriegsfreiwilligen von 1914/18" in the NS Reichskriegerbund.
Was it given in one class only?

Do you mean this little thing? It's tiny..... I don't think so the document doesn't give any grade or class, so I assume it's just the one type...

Thanks Don. An interesting pin and document. I saw an online pin example and was overcome by sticker shock. --dj--Joe

Thanks Joe. Looking at the document again, I hadn’t noticed that it was for a specific place, Mannheim/Ludwigshafen am Rhein. So it seems that this pin was another of the Kriegerbund pieces for a specific area as were the Thüringen pieces.

I was just off bumbling around the internet looking up Mannheim/Ludwigshafen am Rhein. Area-specific badges = limited numbers = rarer finds.

That and the fact that the area was heavily bombed.

Dug out this image this morning. Another nice shot of the NS Deutscher Marine Bund (NSDMB) breast badge in wear. It's just a shame that the cap badge was left out....
