From looking at the obverse and reverse of the examples shown I see nothing that points to reproduction. Pre and post war use is always a possibility since it's more of a sun wheel than a swastika. Membership grades or periods of membership another possibility.
Does Husken not show or discuss these?

All by Fr. Zimmermann. Odd that many variants. But not unheard of.
Nice set Don.

I appreciated seeing them. They both look to be in good condition.

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.

You picked up a nice example. I recall one of mine is also a Fritz Zimmermann M1/72.

Yes, that could be.

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.

Missed seeing this Don. You find some very nice photos.
Thank you for showing it.

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 ?

Pete, have you ever grouped any of your event badges by location? By city for example.

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).

Robert, interesting piece. I have no clue on age or who would wear it.

Not I, but I'm pretty sure you'll be hearing from Don.

Thank you Don. Nice to have a good idea of how they appeared.

: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.

I prefer the non starburst version.
I would never doubt your eye Don. I was just typing/thinking outloud.
