I believe this the German Rowing or Oarsman Association ? Surprisingly this is listed in Huskens other book Orden Und Ehrenzeichen Katalog and not in his Abzeichen Katalog. It is the 50 year membership pin in Silver Gilt marked 800.

Was this a separate organisation or did it replace the DRB ?

The slanted N looks like it has been etched into the badge. I bought it without seeing it, (but knowing there was a chip), just a little bigger than I was hoping Still it wasn't too expensive.

Membership badge for the Central Association of German Horse Examination and Breeding (if my translation is correct). Shame about the damage to the enamel.

Anyone seen this type of pin before. The pin itself looks like a modern replacement, the badge is bronze. The lion reminds me of NSB badges. Anyone recognise it or is it fake, or fantasy. Any help appreciated.

I have always taken Reich to be the equivalent to the word Empire.

Just to clear things up for me did the DRKB and later NSKB take control of regional veterans associations i.e. the Prussian Landeskriegerverband, as the award certificate is issued by the DRKB, but the awards themselves were still the old regional variant ?

Interesting topic and it does open up the wider debate as to evolution of the DRKB Insignia and the inclusion of the swastika. Has anyone got a rough timeline when the insignia changed ?
As for the award which matches the certificate as John says Ehrenzeichen can cover both a medal type decoration and badge so it does not help to really narrow it down.
Dortmund was in Prussia but the Prussian Landeskriegerverband is a separate Organisation unless it was incorporated into the DRKB, but even so would they still be issuing such awards as late as 1936 ?

This being a 1936 DRKB Award I am almost certain it would have had a swastika on the decoration. I am not sure we have quite got to the bottom of this yet.

If the forum administration continues to endorse Ed_Haynes's ungentlemanly spite, I do not wish to be a member of this forum.

No it looks more like an outline of an animal with a white background and border around the background.

I have edited a couple of posts out of this topic as they were going a little bit off thread and to tell you the truth some things are best left well alone.......
