Avitas,

That is a nice late-war painted badge you have there and for those who don't know M1/163 is the RZM code for Franz Schmidt, Gablonz am N.

The plaque I'm showing here isn't exactly like yours but could shed some light on how yours may have been mounted.

Sam,

Here's what I have been told about the D.V.G. Deutsche Volksgemeinschaft

(German Community) badge or what you call the Westmark badge. It was worn by those Germans living in the Saar region that was given to the French after the first world war that supported the reunification of the Saar and Germany in 1935. Here is another supporters badge from Hungary. These badges were primarily produced for German's living and working in Hungary. Reverse has a rare Hungarian makers mark (A.HYNGAR.BUDAPEST)

I wasn't sure where to place this (not knowing whether it was even real or not)--

would this qualify as a "tinnie" in the sense of commemorating a political event-- even though not being wearable-- or as a "coin"/token?

And for my purely informational purposes, what is this "worth" as a Whatever Category It Is collectible? I'm completely out of my depth, since the ONLY tinnies I have are from regimental reunions.

Rick

No this isn't an item sold to commemorate an event as a tinnie would be but a token given out piror to an event or in this case an election to help drum up support for the candidate.

This is a Find

This election token was for the November 17th municipal elections in Berlin. This type of election token was one the first to acknowledge Hitler as the "F?hrer." The other two tokens were for the State election in Baden October 27, 1929 & the 1930 Reichstag election.

Rosenberg, You can find this badge in H?sken's book

Here's my small group of both stickpin and clasp style RLB pins.

Also these never came under RZM control.

The Deutsches Frauenwerk was established in 1933 predating the

NS-Frauenschaft by five years. Your M1/13 was made by L. Christian Lauer.

Judging from the pictures posted I can't find anything wrong with this badge either. Nice piece

Robert,

Here are two more Helferin Badges one painted with a CB mm which is

(Gustav Brehmer, Markneukirchen) the other one is enamel with a E.L.M. mm which is (Ernst L. M?ller, Pforzheim).

Hi Guys,

That mark is actually KWM for the firm Karl Wurster Markneukirchen, RZM# M1/34. It is seen regularly on IAB's and PAB's. Here's a reference book shot.

Eric,

Thank you for clearing that up, I didn't notice the K until I was looking at the picture I took of the reverse even then it's hard to see on mine.

DRK Member's Association Lapel pin type 2.

This and the type 1 pin were worn by the DRK member while not in their working uniform.

Another DRK Active Sisterhood badge.

Robert,

Here's my Deutscher Shooting Club pin

Thanks Don for posting Detlev's badge with a much clearer look at that maker mark I thought that was a K above the AV on mine but wasn't positive. Also thank you Rosenberg for showing us your pristine enamel DRK badge I have one of those as well one question how did you determine this was a Deschler made badge.

Reverse, Does anyone recognize the makers logo.

DRK Senior Helper's Active Service badge

Here's my mid level Ost DAF badge

Don,

I think you should post all the remaining badges individually personally

I don't think that would be considered a waste of forum space.

Reverse

Here's another pre-RZM badge

Robert who is the maker of your RAD stickpin? Here is mine marked C.T.D. is C.Thomas Dicke, L?enscheid
