Hi,
the first eagle is from the German/Prussian Province Posen, see "Wappen":
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provinz_Posen
the third eagle is the Prussian eagle with FR for Fridericus Rex.
The second eagle is from the Polish People's Republic.

Close yes, but not complete, see the different ears. I think, that it is mere chance.

Hi Jock,
why do you write "volunteer"? See in the Reichsarbeitsdienst-Paß > "Die Reichsarbeitsdienstpflichtige"
See Wikipedia: "During World War II compulsory service also included young women ..."

Hi,
it is the Sprenghandgranate DT41 mit Handgranatenzünder DT32. Produced 1960 (GEF. 60).
This was an Austrian made grenade with TNT and additional 250g Beton (concrete).
Please see here:

Hi Alex,
this is definitely not a "57er made grand cross of the Iron Cross", and that is regardless of who made it and when it was made.
This has nothing to do with 57er decorations. It is a copy; 1957er decorations are replacement originals.

Hi WJT,
the badge and the cross are nothing special. You can find many combinations between the different veterans organizations, as you can see here: "Deutscher Kriegerbund" and "Deutscher Kriegerverein". There in no correlation possible.
The triangle ribbon is also nothing special, you can find that mostly in Austria.
I think, that here is nothing to combine especially with your grandfather.

Thank you very much for your information, because I'm always interested in the "history" of the pieces in my collection.

Hi,
it is an old thread, but I could not find some newer posts about the Belgium Industrial and Agricultural Decoration from 1947, since 1863 Industrial Decoration, since 1958 Labour Decoration.
I only want to add here this new (old) decoration in my collection. It is a II. class from 1864, a one piece construction (the center picture is engraved) with a small crown, the inscription only in French:

Hi Edward,
it is always based on the extent of the civilian engagement/deeds (see Post 26).
That could be for the "Verdienstmedaille" or for the "Verdienstkreuz am Bande".
I was able, to apply the "Verdienstmedaille" for a Master Sergeant, and he got the award. The main reason for the award was based on civilian deeds. In even more civilian activities and merits I could have requested the cross, but that is not easy to justify; especially for a NCO.
Normally, in the last decades, you can get the "Verdienstkreuz 1. Klasse" only several years after the award of the "Verdienstkreuz am Bande", with several new deeds. And that is not based on the rank of a soldier.

There are two different badges with different needle systems:

That is a very wide field!
You can find silver content 835, 925 and 935.
"... they made just a few of precious metal. I bet just the early ones"
In princible yes, but you can find in the last years gold 333 badges in Nordrhein-Westfalen, for 50 donations up to 200 donations, with diamonds and brillants.
For example:
It is in my collection, but not based on my blood.
And there are so many variations
- in the fastening,
- in the gold/silver content,
- in the numbers,
- in the boxes.

Hi Kim,
it should be a membership pin for the "Landsmannschaft Ostpreußen", post WW II.

Hi,
on the Bronze badge is written FLL, and it could be from Friedrich Linden Lüdenscheid.
It should be a very early produced badge.
