I Remembered yesterday afternoon that I'd seen a related set somewhere, it's taken me ages to remember where..... Finally found it on Weitze's site for 750 euro.

Very nice John.

There is a tinnie with the same design on, here is a pic that I have of it in wear (at least it looks the same to me).

This is the Reichjugendsportsabzeichen. I believe the stickpin version was for boys & the brooch was for girls.

Very nice Robert. Thanks for posting it.

This is not a serial number it's just part of the maker mark of Christian Laur, 1790 is the year that the company was founded.

Not my area, sorry. Hopefully someone else can help....

Very interesting, I've never seen a Deschler marked piece before. Thanks for posting it.

Is RS for Souval or re-strike or Return to Sender?

Mike

Something like this one Mike?

Can't say that I like it though, I don't like RS marked pieces plus it's on sale on a very dodgy website....

And would this be 5103a?? Sure does look like it to me but without the embroidery. Nice to see you. Robert

Close, but no cigar I'm afraid.... 5103a should have a bright blue enamel, sorry. Nice piece though.

Good to hear from you again!!

A very impressive & rare document, thank you for showing it.

Don

Still no idea I'm afraid

Now you are showing your age.....

Lovely picture though.

Congratulations Pete!

A nice find.

An interesting piece John, thank you for posting it.

What size is it? The large pin plate makes it look like the smaller 18mm version, but it may not be.

Cheers

I can't comment on most of the pieces as they are not my area, however the enamel badge is a party membership badge. The RZM 9 markings show that it was manufactured by Robert Hauschild of Pforzheim.

A nice little pick up.

Cheers

A new one on me I'm afraid Robert...

I had always assumed that the standard version was mearly a cut-down version of the wreathed version i.e. the same badge with the wreath cut off.

You can imagine my surprise when I compared them, two very distinct & different badges....

I finally managed to find an example of the "standard" badge (minus the wreath) after many years of searching....

Welcome to the forum.

From what I can see in these pictures (larger ones would help more) I'm afraid that this is indeed a fake. The quality of the enamel looks poor, but the biggest clue is the shape of the pin plate. This one lookes to be the narrow "coffin" shaped plate which is often seen on modern fakes. But as I say, larger pictures would help more.

There is a thread here for the Westmark pin both showing originals & fakes http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=11163

An interesting piece.

First the easy bit: The 1. Reichstreffen der deutschen Volksgesundheitsbewegung in Düsseldorf was held on the 7th & 8th August 1937.

Not sure about the RADV part, could be Reichsarbeitsgemeinschaft Deutchen Volksgesundheitsbewegung.... ?

Cheers

Don

Thank you for posting this Joe.

The Armeegewehr is the rarer of the 1940 Meisterklasse badges. It's the Kleinkaliber that is more often found.

Cheers

Don

The Party pin is fine, but the DJ is a fake. Notice the narrow, almost coffin shaped pin plate? These plates have only been used post war.

Cheers

Don

Thought that I would post the Fördernde Mitglieder badge, equivalent to the SS/FM but actually much rarer than the SS version.

This is the second design, the first used the monument design of the earlier badge.

Cheers

Don
