A little quiet again. Anyone have any stickpins they wish to share?

Here's a couple of mine.

First, RLB

The business end

again

Just received our first piece of Allach "Dackel" No13. I say "our" as it was actually bought by my wife as she was taken by it when we first saw it.

That is true, combat awards have always had more of a following compared to Civil. However this works to our favour, it keeps the price down on items that in many cases are a lot rarer than their more expensive combat reletives

The North Reinland fire cross for instance, only awarded 84 times....... Compare that to the price of a Knights Cross & how many of those were awarded?

Cheers

Don

Thanks.

You have a beauty there as well.

Thanks for adding to the thread

Cheers

Don

I'm afraid the I can't help as I haven't one of these, but I'm sure that one of our other members must have one hidden away somewhere.

Things may be a little quiet here for the next couple of days because of the SOS.

Cheers

Don

On the other hand I could be totally wrong .........

Now that you show it Pete, I do recall the ribbon. Wasn't this one of Detlevs offerings many years back? Nice piece. I looked in his catalogue last night to see if he featured them but couldn't find any.

Thanks for showing it.

Cheers

Don

Great story Kev, nice to hear that people can still be honest & also that others are appreciative of it.

Nice piece as well, good to see another example

Cheers

Don

Indeed, a fantastic item. I remember seeing it before when you posted it elsewhere & I was taken by it then.........

Thanks for showing it here.

Cheers

Don

Thanks John

Cheers

Don

What I was wondering was if anyone had one of these in wearable condition with ribbon or what-have-you. Maybe a photo of one in wear........ Have a Good Day. Robert

Don't take it as gospel Robert as these aren't my area, but I seem to recall that these did not come with ribbons. One of those odd awards that had a loop for a ribbon, but wasn't issued with any.

Cheers

Don

Welcome to the forum Bill, good to have you on board. Don't aplogise for awaking this thread, it's just what we need

Nice plate, any chance you can get a shot of the maker mark?

Cheers

Don

I tend to avoid the painted or lacquered versions as they've never really appealed to me. However this badge James is very fine, thanks for showing it.

Cheers

Don

Thanks for the clarification. I've never heard of ones with red backgrounds to start with (but other may have as this isn't one of the badges I've studdied yet), & I don't like the sound of these oval plates being used. I think caution & more investigating is needed but I suspect that they are new fakes....

Cheers

Don

Very interesting info Robert thanks. When you say narrow pin plate, do you mean the very narrow clipped type we see on modern badges, or the more oval period style plate?

Can't help with this thread as I don't yet have one, hopefully others will chip in though.

Cheers

Don

Good news indeed Robert

Wives? Girlfriends? Why? Do they want a nice Frauenschaft badge?

Cheers

D

This is probably why I have a tendency to overpost here on this forum.

Robert, you do not overpost, the rest of us underpost.

I tend to try not to just say "nice badge" all the time & so stay quiet unless I can give an informed answer. I haven't a clue with your 75 but will happily go along with Stephen's conclusion as he has studdied the RZM far more than I. I am confident though when I say your type III looks fine.

Keep posting my friend.

Cheers

Don

Thanks for the closer image & the older ladie is a nice picture as well.

Thanks for sharing them.

Cheers

Don

Hi Flo, welcome aboard, glad to see you found us.

Nice picture, could we see a closer shot of the badge please?

Cheers

Don

Very nice indeed Stephen & very intersting. I have often wondered about the the background of this badge (beyound the obvious Christian link). Do you have any further info on this group?

Cheers

Don

Joe,

Stephen & Robert are correct, it's a badge worn by the civilan workers employed by the Wehrmacht. The literal translation is Armed forces attendants.

Cheers

Don

Very nice Robert, it's true that we don't see these badges very often. I don't own one, but a friend of mine does, I've just checked the images I have of his one & yours matches perfectly.

Would be nice to see if anyone else has one, they came in a smaller stickpin form as well. I've only seen Junker marked ones, it would be interesting to see if there are any with other makers out there.

Cheers

Don

Interesting poster Stephen, shame it's a reprint eh?

Cheers

Don
