Avitas Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Hi there, I just picked up this RLB Reichsluftschutzbund member badge yesterday, made by Hoffstatter & Bonn marked Ges.Gesch. I think this is an earlier piece, and it has no RZM mark. Were these commonly marked with RZM's or not? It has really good condition blue enamel, but is missing the fastener. Does anyone else have any RLB member pins to show? Thanks, Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avitas Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 here is the back with mm Hoffstatter & Bonn. Any comments or examples of your own?Later,Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scowen Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Here's mine for you to compare. The RLB were not a directly controlled NSDAP organisation so not subject to RZM control.CheersDon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avitas Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 Thanks Don,Is my pin broken then? Or is it a different style with a fastener that would attach on the short pin, like modern pins? Any ideas on this?Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURGERHAUS Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Pat From my vantage point I would say your example is a stickpin with the pin broken at its weakest point. Someone had to bend it back and forth quite a few times to make that happen I suspect. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scowen Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Yep, as Robert states, broken off for some reason.CheersDon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter J Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Pat, that pin has been cut deliberately, notice the sharp angled edges. KRPeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURGERHAUS Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Yes possibly with a crimper. Either way it is a stickpin like Mr. scowen has shown. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avitas Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 (edited) Well that's too bad about the stickpin being crimped off, but I still like it anyways Thanks for clarifying that gentlemen and maybe someone else has a full stickpin version to show like mine and Don's here.Cheers,Pat Edited November 4, 2006 by Avitas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scowen Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Welcome to the forum Student, & thanks for posting your pin. I have moved your Danzig badge to it's own thread ( http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=22743 ) as this one is purly for the Type 1 Amtsträgerabzeichen.
