Happy New Year folks!!

Here are a couple more Kriegerbund pieces that I know virtually nothing about.

As some of you may be aware, for some reason Thüringen was a hotbed for unusual & these days unknown enamel badges. As seen in some of my other posts here, there seems to be a multitide of so far undocumented enamel from the Third Reich period.

Here are two large badges (6.5 cm, about 2 inches in length) badges for the Deutscher Reichskriegerbund. I assume by the number 25, that they are anniversary pieces.... However, so far I have never found any documentation for them.

Two forms one with the full name plus Thüringen under the shield, the other simply with the number. The reverse set up is similar however they are made by different manufacturers, the first by Scheideanstalt, Oberstein the second by R.Conrad, Weimar.

Enjoy....
