Ran across this while searching for some info. thought it deserved another look.

What an intriguing badge Don. Thanks for sharing it. I can't quite make out the ripple pattern behind the enamel. Looks early.

--dj--Joe

A nice piece the 10 year.

--dj--Joe

Very nice picture, thank you for showing it.

Not sure how much help I can be. The shooting medals on the chain would be for specific events. Some named to the individual on the reverse. Usually the club and or event engraved also.

I don't have an exact example to any in the picture but here is one for an idea.

Hi Don. Is the pin on the smaller diamond thicker than the mid size example?

Robert, that is a nice piece.

--dj--Joe

All these nice and interesting badges and I still have yet to add any examples to my collection.

I'd best turn in my enamel badge collectors card.

Well done everyone. I appreciate seeing these.

--dj--Joe

Larry T., thanks for the period images. Appreciate seeing them.

Here is a 50 I can share.

--dj--Joe

I see membership pins.

Don, always a joy to see your collectibles.

--dj--Joe

Ha, see what you started.

Congratulations on a dedicated collection.

Some rare examples there.

Hi, your adler would have had three round prongs, one attached at each mound. They would have been pushed through the cloth of the collar tab and bent over. They would have resembled short pins. If the adler is made of aluminum the pins would likely be the same material. If alloy the same.

--dj--Joe

I thank both of you Gentlemen. I learned something today.

--dj--Joe

Continued, + stickpin.

--dj--Joe

Thought to share this item.

--dj--Joe

Same. C.P.

--dj--Joe

Impressive. I've always liked these. I admire the 1936.

Regards, --dj--Joe

I have a small membership pin. Will check to see if it's the same manufacturer.

--dj--Joe

So many moving pieces to choose from.

One more Marine reporting, sir--

Thank you Don. I appreciate it for the third time. This time I will write it down.

I wonder if Neff had a monoply on these org. pins? I have not observed another maker.

Hello, I find myself in need of assistance. I purchased a Reichsverband Der Wirtschaftsleiter membership pin, (as seen on page 2 of this thread), however I can not recall nor find specific information as to the organization. Even though I know Don has told me at least twice. I looked up the definition of Wirtschaftsleiter but too many variables and things do tend to get confused in translation.

Mine is also by Rob.Neff Berlin W57

--dj--Joe :unsure:

Thought to add this to this fine thread.

--dj--Joe

Nice examples Gents.

I believe my button hole example is one of the smaller versions.

--dj--Joe

Not a clue. Interesting though. Any markings to the reverse?
