Colin, good idea! I have a few, actually quite a few I wish to add to my tinnie box. I never did buy the book though so can not contribute. I stopped at the Foxhole series of four.

Also of no help, I have observed both forms of RZM mark, however it was on another forum and I am not sure about the ethics of attaching links here to other forums.

XEN, thank you much. So when red is refered to it really means more of a rose pink? Mine has some age to it but does not appear to be washed out. The last image is the closest to true color.

In the list in The Iron Cross of 1939 by: Gordon Williamson, it is Hobacher. On two other sites it is Hobacher. One spelling is correct and one is incorrect. Now to settle on the correct spelling,
opinions.

I should state that I feel it is W. Hobacher, Wien.

It may not help much at the moment but on numerous lists M7/11 is attributed to E. Knecht & Co., Solingen. Have not run across another example of a HJ knife by that maker to support yours, will keep looking.

For myself if the price was fair I would not let the repairs bother me. These items have a long history and have passed through many hands. The rivets were in all probability peened over by someone after the other damage was repaired to tighten a loose eagle and pin plate. Still a nice piece. I have damaged shooting medals where the enamel has been repaired prior to my reciept but to me they are keepers.

Robert it does indeed appear to have some repair work done. An interesting piece.

Kevin,
Thank you for looking into the patch question. Perhaps some one will know what it could be.
I read the forum rules. None of this is worth arguing over. Time will tell and truth will out in the end.

I can almost see into the future on this one. Colin has been there before also!
This could well be an excellent learning thread. Or it could go down a wrong road. For what little my support is worth I throw it behind Colin and XEN. I feel Gentlemen do and should have the right to disagree! In todays world of collecting simple statements do not cut it! We all have inquiring minds and desire period proof.
I enjoy learning and have from this thread and others like it!

Colin, the second skull is really impressive and expressive! I know no history on them but can offer you a link to another example.

Robert,
My best guess is your example has a combination of the Treble Clef and the Bass Clef.
(The Bass Clef being the backwards c with two dots).
There be the limit of my musical note knowledge.

Nice items both! I don't know where you Gents. find these interesting pieces. I am in a collective freeze, have not located a thing for months.
Congratulations, a first time chance for me to see either of these interesting pins.

Interesting piece! Actually the treble clef on the Lobeda pin is correct the other having been reversed to form an S.
Congrats, on a nice find Robert.

Colin, that is extensive! I will take a look but doubt that I can add to the knowledge base.
Thanks for posting the M/9 makers.

Opfer-ring
in Germany: Third Reich: Organisational Membership Badges & Tinnies
Posted
Don, being a Hüsken less individual.
Are there many variants of these Opfer-ring
badges?
I see different examples with the chevron show up here and there but they seem to command a higher price than I feel they rate, are they indeed rarer than I think?
