I can echo that they are all period pieces.
The first round one is a Veteran meet event badge.
The 2nd I can not make out.
The Reichsparty day badge is in good condition for a zinc alloy piece.
The youth related tinnie is probably going to be your most sought after of the four.
Prices, I am sorry to be of no assistance.

Thanks for your research Pete. Interesting indeed. Eight variants out there somewhere. Gives me a collecting goal. I'd best get started. I wonder why the KdF emblem is not displayed on them?
Rothenburg is the only German city I got to wander around in for pleasure.

Thanks Pete, I was interested in ( and performed a search for) Rothenburg tinnies. I see you have two very nice examples.
I have seen two others and note none of the four incorporate a hakenkreuz in the representations. I wonder if the city was exempt from having to use it, had an aversion to it, or convieniently forgot to include one.

I picked the pin up at a militaria show a few years back.
The organization is still going strong.

Somewhere online I have seen another pin for sale. Slightly different wording. If I run across it I will let you know.

Why do I imagine him guarding the back door to the butcher shop?
Nice photo, thank you for sharing.
Do you feel the depiction on this pin is the same ?

Greetings, I can share a few WWII dog related items but they would fit best here.

That is quite nice to have both items together. Thank you for sharing them I enjoyed the opportunity to see the brochure. I wonder how many paper items covering the events survived?

They had Präsidialkanzlei # 11 - Grossmann & Co. Wien.
Belt buckles M4/84 - Grossmann & Co. Wien.
M1/130 - Grossmann & Co., Inh. Lorenz Hoffstätter & L. Siefener, Wien. (Not sure of the history behind this address).

:Cat-Scratch: Has anyone seen or better yet have a Womens RAD Honor pin (was the honor pin considered an honorable service membership pin)? If in stickpin form there is your answer. I have a ghost of a thought that far back I saw an example but do not recall the pin set up.

:anmatcat: Hmmmm? I can't think of a badge the women wore that was not available in pinback and stickpin form. Thought of the NSV, NS-Volkswohlfahrt but I have seen a pinback version of the membership badge. Plus they had the brooches.
Scour the in wear images.

Robert, I thought the same.
Mine measures. 16 and 1/2mm. wide X 18mm. high, or 17 32nds. wide X 22 32nds. high.
Barely big enough for me to see.

Don, I know you are busy. Should you get the chance back on post #22 the group shot. Can you make out the pole toppers? They look like a spear point with a large round base. I have read of such a design but do not recall having seen one before.
