Don,

KKS - For the Advancement of Small Caliber Shooting, Registered Association - e.V. (eingetragener Verein)

I think Hüsken's title for that section of his book is more or less a generalization or "catch-all" heading for these types of organizational hunting & shooting pins. The second explanation in the "Deutschland im Spiegel seiner Abzeichen 1930-45," by Brüggemann & Rowedder is the proper translation for our identification purposes.

A superb badge and a rare one to boot! Never seen this version before, it reminds one of the SS Beförderung pins, classic.

Thanks!

Bill
