You are going to be one busy collector. Wish I had a collecting focus.
This is a favorite link I keep referring to.

Good hunting, --dj--Joe
Are you planning to collect Frauenwerk badges by maker?
Frauenschaft badges give a collector and a collection variety of size color and style.
Also the womens DAF badges are colorfull.
I find it difficult to add any new items at a reasonable price. You are doing well.

They also came as a stick pin version. As I recall there are some examples with variant sword hilts.
Deschler u.s. Munchen I believe is the marking.

I've got to start paying closer attention. I've been missing some top notch posts.
Mijke, nice assemblage. Would the cloth piece be for the sports shirt?
Don, could the large pin in question on Odulf's image be religious? I think I see a cross on the pocket of the upper picture.
I also thought singing or music related. (?)
Odulf, nice pictures, thanks for showing them.
Nice additions Don. I'd not seen the Hillenbrand & Bröer any time before. Interesting their set up of the HB.

Meister schießen, (master shoot).
As opposed to,
Meisterzeichen, (masters mark), (masters sign),(makers mark).
Perhaps this piece is in reference to the logo of the Ibex on the round target with swas. and the oakleaves and acorns.

Is there any background on the hollow back brooches? I saw an example for sale but have misplaced the site for the moment.
I note they are painted and not enameled. Late war possibly? Are they an alloy base metal? (Located the site, I can't make out the base metal from the images).
They are interesting. Do they show up in period catalogs?

Hi Robert,
I must apologize for not having noticed the flash washed out the reverse image. It is in reality gold finish like the obverse. My obverse image doesn't show the true brilliance of the gilt.
I've got to work on my photography skills. May start using B&W with written descriptions.
