That debate would be an interesting read for me. Should you ever come across it again would you let me know where I can find it, please?
If it is a reproduction, I'm struck by the high quality of the pin itself and the age patina, all nicely done. How much do these things retail for? If they're cheap enough, I'd advise buying one just to keep as a reference.
I took some shots of the Tierschutz-pin reverse along with a large Turnerschaft (gymnastics) award having a likeness of Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, their founding-father. Hope you can make out the 'ges.gesch.' My old camera doesn't allow for extra close macro shots ... hope these will suffice?
