Thanks Don. I did find an old 2010 link in a web search that brought me right back to GMIC.
Odd thing is when I copy and paste it to GMIC search - nothing comes up.
However the link does work.

Link.
ChrisKelly,
Nice to see the solid DAF's. I must have passed my solid example on to another collector.
I do not recall having seen the cut out version with a gilt Hakenkreuz.
I can not make out what is stamped on the Hakenkreuz stick pin. I may have a couple of examples but am sure neither are marked.

I have noted a similar GES. GESCH. RZM 4 marked badge listed as a transitional badge. There were no negative comments about originality.
I do not study these badges and look forward to other observations.

I incorrectly assumed the maker mark on the piece was WTB. Now I see it is W (hammer) B. Attributed to: Wilhelm Binder. I still have no image I can share.

My problem for some time has been - sitting, looking and thinking instead of collecting. 🙄 I never got around to adding an example to my collection. Seems the few badges I saw were either in rough condition or iffy looking.

Thank you Don for looking.
We will probably never know but I wonder why they decided to drape some wing tips over the green background on one side?

I agree, very nice. I appreciate seeing them. Mr. Cornwell do you recall what the devils head was made of?
ChrisKelly, if I recall correctly there is also a solid (filled in) example of the D.A.F. lapel pin. I will search for an example. Seems like I have or had one at one time.

Interesting. 144 is not listed as a known M1 code. Could be an unknown. Or could be the firm mixed up their M code for M5 uniform accessories or M9 tinnies (day badges).
So much we don't know for sure. Good chance the lists are not complete.

Not a membership badge I ever got around to collecting, so I can not contribute.
Would bronze be the base color for these badges?
I did locate an older topic showing a double C. Poellath Schrobenhausen marking. (Click on the arrow in the upper right corner of the link).
