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. --dj--Joe

After looking through this thread for the 5th or 6th time I was inspired to add my example. Note they cut off 1/2 of the C and H. in GESCH. --dj--Joe

Nat. Soc. Deutscher Marine Bund stickpin. --dj--Joe

Robert, nice indeed. Only the second example I have seen. Congrats. --dj--Joe

I wound up with a type 1 for my collection. Also marked HCH TIMM Berlin C19. I see no sign of it having been silver washed. --dj--Joe

You are going to be one busy collector. Wish I had a collecting focus. This is a favorite link I keep referring to. http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/553-1st-pattern-frauenschaft-badge/page__hl__frauenschaft 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. --dj--Joe

Anyone have others to show? Has anyone seen the Wardens badge in a period picture? --dj--Joe

Link to earlier thread. http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/10847-sympathizer-pins/

MUNCH. it is. :blush:

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. --dj--Joe

Peter, I like your mini too. --dj--Joe

It is very detailed. I was thrilled at the detail on these miniatures. Here is a 16mm. I have that IMO rivals the full size. --dj--Joe

Very interesting to see the 6 numbered badge. Thanks for showing it. Someday I hope to be able to share an example here. --dj--Joe

Must not be many of these about. --dj--Joe

:) Someday you should take a picture of all your Kleingärtner related items. --dj--Joe

That's a nice one. Some very interesting tinnies posted under Reichsnährstand. My lone example. --dj--Joe

Indeed a nice one. I do not recall many event badges to this organization. --dj--Joe

Ostpreußen traditions badge with reflected glare, I do believe you gents are correct. My eyes keep seeing differently day to day. --dj--Joe

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. --dj--Joe

Definitely an interesting piece. I would not think it one of a kind. Should be more out there. --dj--Joe

Nice pins all. Quite a nice photo Don. Thanks for showing it. I believe that's the first time I've seen four badges,/ org. pins arrayed so. --dj--Joe

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. --dj--Joe

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? --dj--Joe

Do you feel Roberts Meisterzeichen badge may have been a day badge (tinnie) for the event? --dj--Joe
