Unofficial shoulderboard device on his (silk topped?) cap, and whats the thin ribbon for?

Pete

Could this be a variant of the "Bund Deutscher Ostern" badge?

To muddy the waters more, it seems to me that in the upper blown up photo, it is not an "Arbeits Dank" pin.

Nice one Robert.

Basically because I have had many, exactly the same these, through through my hands in my earlier years as an antique dealer's dogsbody. I started at the age of 11 in 1958 and they were quite common for many years. Of course I can't say for sure that they were not identical to ones made for use by the natives themselves. It was the same for assegais & zulu style shields.

I presume you mean true, or real.

Looks OK to me. Possibly a zinc example.

Nice one Alec.

A picture of the front would be nice.

Looks like an earlier type of tourist item, but with a new hanging device added. Modern ones a generally have chromed blades.

Pete

Looks OK but shouldn't it have two horizontal lines on the shaft above the fletching and two below the arrowhead?

Note, my illustration is a different maker. (R.S.&S.)

Possibly an advertising piece or a souvenir of the film. A gift from my friend in Germany (as its my name... without the ein))

Could the first one be by R. Neff.
