    What was the difference between the cross on Hauptman's badge and 'circle' on my example?

    Originally, you had to have been a "front fighter" to become a member of the organization. Later, they started letting in younger men (and women in an auxiliary) who had not served at the front and they were allowed to wear a member's pin, but without the IC. The "circle" on your pin is just the rendering of a helmet's side lug.
