Well, this needs correcting .. that pin there, is not RDGF (Reichsverband Deutscher Guts und Forstbeamten), but, it says RDSF!! The RDSF is surely NOT the Reichsverband Deutscher Guts und Forstbeamten, I was way wrong, its something else!! From 1933 to august 1934 known as RDS, or, Reichsverband Deutscher Sportangler e.V. and after august 1934, known as RDSF, the Reichsverband Deutscher Sportfischer e.V..



The Reichsverband, was formed from the Arbeiter-Angler-Bundes Deutschlands (AABD), in 1933, on july 1. The year National Socialism came to power. NSDAP wanted less organisations, they used the AABD to be the only organisation for fischermen. Before 1933, there were more fishermen organisations, like Deutschen Angler Bund and Arbeitsgemeinschaft deutscher Anglerbünde and many smaller local groups like Fischerbund Noris and Angelsportverein Oberroden.

The RDSF, still exists now as VDSF, Verband Deutscher Sportfischer. And, that still has the Wolfsangel you see in the pin above (quoted) in the logo, see here. This surely must be awesome to collect. The Dritte Reich 1st (RDS) and 2nd form (RDSF) of the pin, both are for sale sometimes. Not cheap, but, surely someone will like those together. Some magazines as well, most expensive but best condition here.



The RDSF was part of the Reichsnährstand, an organisation, that wanted equality and coördination for agriculture and lifestock. For exemple, a super unportable medal for dairy is here, backside here, very nice. Information in German and some enamel shields you can sometimes find for sale, here. Something on youtube too here.

If you like the subject, you need the book "Faszination Fisch Geschichtliches zum Fisch und seinem Fang", by Heinz Haase, see it here.

Corrected, and Petri Heil,
KR
