Gold Party Pin Guy Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I've always loved these little badges of the NS-Studentenbund. This was the organization of university-level students. Here are the basic member badges in standard, half-sized stickpin and late war painted versions: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Party Pin Guy Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 Here's the full-sized member badge. It is being copied (of course). Most copies do not have the RZM mark and are usually blank on the reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Party Pin Guy Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 (edited) This is the half-sized stickpin marked M1/52 for Deschler. Something to look for - generally the large one has ten dots per red field, and the small ones have 4 or 5. Edited July 1, 2015 by Scowen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Party Pin Guy Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 This is the Alterherrnbund - the alumni association of NSDStB members. This is the regular sized badge, plus the hard to find half-sized stickpin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Party Pin Guy Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 Here is a better look at the stickpin. I have another in this series, but will have to get the camera out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Party Pin Guy Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) Here's the last one I have - the NS Studenten Kampfhilfe, instituted in 1939 for members of the NSDStB who made a "notable contribution" according to Cone. It seems like a junior honor badge, perhaps for early membership, although the NSDStB was only founded in 1933 - too late for the "Kampfzeit". The back is marked RZM M1/33.

BURGERHAUS Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 [attachmentid=24321][attachmentid=24322]Finally my NS Alterherrnbund Hello Guys, Here is an image of my Alterherrnbund. M1/63 which differs from your maker. I notice a slight diference in my lettering. I am hoping another owner of M1/63 can/will post for comparison. Have a nice day.

BURGERHAUS Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Notice the diferences between the two makers of this badge. I was confident about getting this badge for two reasons: same maker as Cone's example and the seller is a well known dealer. Hint: Weekly frenzied updates. Now, upon closer inspection, I notice the dot in Cone's example is round and my example is anything but! We shall see. Thoughts? Opinions? Yet another to return at my expense of course? Have a nice weekend. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BURGERHAUS Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Stephen Thanks for your reply. I was at a particular disadvantage when I purchased it. If I recall correctly, I viewed it for about 10 seconds, I scanned Cone's book for about 10 seconds, I re-scanned the dealer's image for 10 seconds, and hit BUY THIS NOW! Then came the e-mail stating that I was succesful and it was mine! I was so happy and lucky to be able to do all my research in 30 seconds! One can only wonder how long the dealer spent researching. More than 30 seconds.....or less. I am hoping to see another 63 or here what others might add before I march to the Post Office, spend $10, and deal with 1-3 weeks of angst over "lost in the mail" issues.

Rosenberg Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I have none of those badges ever handled, but when checking Huesken he shows two versions, a smaller one with supposedly a dot and a large version with the square(9432a).Hope it helps....Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURGERHAUS Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Ah Hah! Great eyes. I had to use my loup to see that it was square nad not round. I guess then that the smaller example would be the miniature or stick-pin version. Now what light does that shed on Stephen and Don's examples? The maker on mine matches Cone. Amended: have just checked Cone and his example is 33 with round dot like Don and Stephen. So then I would deduce from all of this that Mine is correct per Husken and Don and Stephen's are correct per Cone. To be able to see another 63 would help resolve this. I lean toward Don and Stephen since they are a pair and I am solo. More research more research! Thanks for your helpful imput. My pulse rate has declined by 20%.
