I would love some help in identifying this badge. I'm not the best photographer but you get the idea. I have never seen this in any publication. Thanks, Mike

Maker marks: Honor pin(left) Ges.Gesch., Stickpin Ges.Gesch., Top right Ges.Gesch., Bottom right Ges.Gesch. Pretty boring but original!!

And the boys all together......

And.......

Great picture Don!!! Pictorial support is so valuable to collectors.

I agree totally with Don......just my opinion. Anyone out there ever see one with a yellow background?

You always amaze me with the depth of your collection in EVERY area!! No wonder you are the moderator. Thanks!!

Добро пожаловать I hope this is correct! WELCOME and Don is an excellent moderator!

Thanks Don. I tend to agree. A "new" item from a major manufacturer coming out at this late date makes one think "Why aren't there more out there?" hmmmm

And now the booklet for the organization.

And the Red with oak leaves.

And the 3D red------MISSING!!!!!

And the regular red plain

And the small red

And the black 3D

And the black flat.

And now the blue 3D

I am glad to see this thread continue since I wasn't part of it in the past. I will bore everyone by showing my wee collection of RDK badges. I like the badges and am looking for a 3-D red one as I think that it will complete the set. I tend to feel that the background colors (colours) relate to Orts, Kreis, and Gau without any Reichs level badges. This is my assumption based on what I have seen but without a pure reference base. I have never seen a yellow (gold) background color on this badge nor have I ever seen another oakleaf badge other than mine with the red background. I am not an expert! I will start with the blue flat finish.

Welcome back Don. You bring a lot to the forum and you have been missed.

And I must add the same as everyone else. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and pictures of your gorgets. Collecting should be sharing and enjoying and I got a lot of enjoyment from your wonderful and thorough pictures. Thank you!!!

Great pin Don.....never have seen it! Thanks for showing us. Mike

Don, A really neat piece.....congratulations!!!! Best, Mike

Robert, A beautiful badge. I think that I saw one at the MAX show but the table was gone when I went back. It is really neat. Thanks, Mike

OK----it's not a stickpin, but what the heck.......I'm on a roll!!!
