Some days ago an SS pin was offered to me . I know the enameled type but this was a type that I never have seen before and I wonder if it is an existing type of badge.

I have no picture, but here is a description:

-It was silver or silvered, not enameled.

-the diameter of the round badge was about 11mm , with a knurled pin attached of about 50mm.

-On the badge were depicted the SS runes with a oakleaves wreath around the SS runes.

No marks on the backside.

Could be a miniature for civil costume use?

Has someone of you seen this type of pin before?

I thank you in advance.

Who can help me to find info about the staff of the condor legion , after Sperrle, the years 1938 and 1939. Perhaps a good link.

Means S88 , Sonderstab88 or Stab88 ?

I thank you in advance.

Ian, this tinnie has a very strong design! The 3 dimensional sword is placed far off out the shield. It enforces the effect of power .

You only find this in nazi art.

An interesting tinnie.

Please if there is a better place to post this topic , feel free to do so.

Thank you for posting your badges and your kind replies.

Peter, probably the Nazis made this medal and put the names of the nations in their own language (inculding the depicted soldiers) to show the rest of the world their absolute fair election under control of these nations. The hand and the election box should give a nutral idea of a fair election in 1935.

I suppose the ribbon is German.

A very nice and interesting medal.

Cheers,

Benten

Hallo benten,

Walts = "Walter Mitty" a character in a US movie starring Danny Kaye

as a guy who day dreams about being a success in many different roles,

Doctor, Detective, Soldier etc..etc...

Today its used to describe guys who buy military clothing and items

to use to convince people they really were in the military.

Like guys wearing S.A.S, Para, or French Foreign Legion T-Shirts etc.. etc..

Kevin, I'm from Europe; I don't know the expression "Cheap trinkets for the Walts." .... what means for the Walts?

backside...................

side.....

front.......

That is the Cost of Arms of the United States of America

The stars within the disk above the eagles head represent the original thirteen colonies

"e pluribus unum" is Latin; it means "From many, one" and refers to the idea that the United States is made

up of individual states and populated by individual citizens, but we come together as a single country

What is the design on the other side of the ring?

Are there any initials inside the band?

The general design is common for WW2 up to today

David thanks for your reply.

The ring has no marks . and has no initials. I think the base material is brass with a chrome finish.

Here some more pictures.

Cheers,

Benten
