I'm afraid not, never seen one before, sorry.

Personally I do not have any issues with it....

Hi John, Very nice. I've had this one for many years.... Cheers Don

Hi Joe, Here is a scan from Hüsken's catalogue showing some. Cheers Don

Very interesting Alec. Here's one of mine....

Just found it. Section B "Deutsche organisationen in abgetrennten gebieten" B3 page 403, he shows a painted version which I suspect has been done post war. cheers Don

A nice piece Alec. This is shown in the Hüsken catalogue, but it is listed in one of the rear sections. I'm not at home at the moment so do not have access to my copy, but there is a section after the main badges that has badges of other areas & Elsass has a seperate entry. Thanks for posting Don

Hello Andreas, Sorry for my late reply, I do not visit this part of the board very much these days. A lovely badge & document. Here is a thread that you may be interested in seeing http://gmic.co.uk/topic/16440-nsdap-n-nsan-dbn-hsb/ Also a picture from my collection showing the Leistungsabzeichen being worn... Cheers Don

Seems like we have an answer before I was able to reply. The pin is shown in the new edition of Hüsken's catalogue with a new number 8772a Don

As far as I'm aware, these are post war veteran's pins. Don

Hi, It looks to me like the RAD traditions badge for Arbeitsgau I, Ostpreußen? Don

Very nice Andreas. I guess that I should point out that I was referring to the "1933" versions of the DE badges...

Personally I do not think that they are worth anything more than a fake/fantasy badge would cost. Since 2006 when my comment was posted these have been shown to be fantasy pieces & did not exist during the period.

Sorry for my late reply, been away for a few days.... Nice pin Joe, is it new? Thanks for posting Don

Personally I have never been comfortable with the pieces marked RS. Sorry.

Yes it will be Glaser u Sohn Dresden, as that is the only maker that I've seen on these honour pieces. D

Yes, the reverses are all the same as yours. D

Very nice Robert, now you just need to find the rest of the set....

You are correct, these are generally considered to be fakes.

A.G. & co pieces are only found as bronze, silver & gold 1939 & the Kleinkaliber 1940 badges. A.G. & co marked badges are very controversial. Many believe them to be fake, the main reason being that so far no one has been able to identify who exactly A.G. & co were (if they existed during the period). However the badges are not cast copies or made with old dies as there are die differences between the Poelatth & the AG pieces. Both Poellath & the AG pieces are magnetic & they also have the same measurements.... So if they are fake then someone went to great lengths to make them the same.

​Hi Joe, No, it simply became Wehrmann from 1942 onwards.... Don

Lovely to see the silver grade Mike. Thanks for posting it. Don

Very nice indeed! Thank you for sharing them with us. Don

Welcome to the forum. The badge you have is what is generally known as a "tinnie". These are small badges sold to the public at various events to raise money, usually for the NSDAP. John has explained this particular event in his first post above. Thank you for posting it. Don

​Good to hear from you again!!! No just tombac. I've only ever seen these years. So far I have not seen a 1939. They also came in bronze & silver grade, but these are very rare, much rarer than the gold. Don
