Matthew and Don,

Thank you both for your prompt reply.

--dj--Joe

There is a gilt version of this badge isn't there?

--dj--Joe

Thank you for sharing.

How does the more elaborate early 1st. type compare in thickness?

--dj--Joe

Very well presented information.

A day badge I have not seen before. I will check through my day badges but do not recall having an RDB example.

Thank you sir for sharing.

--dj--Joe

Interesting. I had not seen a buttonhole example of this badge before.

--dj--Joe

I appreciate seeing your collection. Very well photographed items.

My only example is an M.O.S. marked piece. An example already pictured in the link to the older thread so nothing new from me.

Regards, --dj--Joe

Hope I haven't posted this before. Getting old and don't remember.

--dj--Joe

Any new and exciting additions to show? I keep an eye towards these badges but they are few and far between around my area.

Thank you all for sharing from your knowledge and collections.

--dj--Joe

This topic has been quiet for a time, any new items anyone?

--dj--Joe

 Sharp eyes to see that small pin from a photo Don.

--dj--Joe

A nice looking set Don.

Vivid colors. Did they use a lacquer for the finish? It certainly held up. 

--dj--Joe

For the new year I reread this old favorite thread. Still a favorite.

--dj--Joe

Anything new? It's been a while.

--dj--Joe

You mean like an actual comment? 

Thanks for sharing.

A most interesting topic. Many thanks for sharing.

Good to see the Kyffhauser veterans organization tunic. 

Will check to see if I have any post-war Schutzenverein related items. 

Regards, --dj--Joe

Did you coat them with anything to keep the zinc from continuing to corrode?

--dj--Joe

Perfectly alright to bring back to life.  Thanks for showing your badges.. I'll show this stickpin Turnbund related but I don't know the specifics of the lettering.  Good Sunday  Robert   ATVA is the lettering and is unmarked on reverse.

Robert, 

Allgemeiner turnverein aachen, allgemeiner turnverein ansfelden, something similar?

Additional information. One was a 1926 Deumer catalog. I had no luck with a search. Perhaps someone seeing this will have one or a link to one.

--dj--Joe

If an image of it could be found in a period catalog. That might give a clue.  There are catalog pages of manufactured pins out there. 

--dj--Joe

An interesting assemblage. Most I have never seen before. All in good condition. Thank you for sharing.

Stadturm city Tower, Theresienplatz square, Straubing, Lower Bavaria, Bavaria, Germany.

Appreciate every one posting. Thought I had one to add but an example is already shown.

--dj--Joe

Bill,

It's difficult to tell from an image. The maker mark is raised and MAINZ 3 is engraved.

--dj--Joe

Here is what I came up with. Hope it is of some help.
