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.

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.
