A closeup of the KO pin showing the initials DA (the goldsmith David Andersen, who made the pin) and the number 766 (Age Johann Bouradi, the National Leader of the NS Youth Organization).

I hope you like these as much as I do.

Congrats John. Smile

Great looking items. That GSSN Supporting Member pin are very hard to come by, I only know two collectors here in Norway who is the proud owners of one of these. And I am not one of them.

Thank you all for you comments.

Bismarck, I got lucky. I was surfing the net and came across this grouping and immediately grabbed it.

I am very pleased because this gives me a wide pin example of the Frontkjemper as well (I now have the 3 versions based on reverse differences).

John

Is the SS pin the Norwegian version of the German FM pin?
