Badge marking M1/151 Rudolf Schanes , Wien
 

This manufacturer stands out for marking the Eagle's eye.

The Z of the RZM logo does not have a crossbar.

This piece has a crooked welded safety pin.

This allows us to see the weld and the notch where the safety pin lines up.

Postcard with special postmark by the  Winterhilfswerk des Deutschen Volkes ("Winter Relief of the German People"), commonly known by its abbreviated form Winterhilfswerk WHW.

"RINCOPYN" was the official name of a medicinal product marketed in Germany before World War II.

The Rincopyn was a product that was obtained from the water of the Rincón fountain, coming from a well-known source in the Canary Islands, and who obtained it was a Spanish-German company.

Its distribution was basically done in two formats: liquid and pills. 

Who had patented the Rincopyn preparation was Dr. Otto Dittes in the 1930s.

I would greatly appreciate any information about the RBD, I've only been with this collection for a few months and there is much to discover.

Here you can see some TINNIES of the RDB

Thanks so much for looking.

Thank you for your words Mr. dj Joe

Membership badge (Tinnie) :

At the moment I have identified 6 meetings or rallies of the RDB of which there are membership badges :

- 1.Bez. Beamtentreffen Zwickau 14,15/4/1934 RDB
- "Gautagung Hannover RDB 1935 - Erst deutsch dann Beamter"
- RDB Gautreffen D.Pomm. Beamten in Sttetin 6.u.7 apr. 1935
- 1-11-1936 RDB Beamtentreffen in Schleswig-Holstein Lubeck
- Beamten Kundgebung Hermann Heef Kassel 27/28. 6 1936 RDB GAU KURHESSEN
- Pommerchers Beamtentag Stettin 9,11/4/1937 RDB

The insignia is made of green Bakelite, measuring 3.5cm by 5.5cm.

"Polyoxybenzylmethylene glycolanhydride", better known as bakelite , was the first plastic made from synthetic components. It is a thermosetting phenol formaldehyde resin, formed from a condensation reaction of phenol with formaldehyde. It was developed by the Belgian-American chemist Leo Baekeland in Yonkers, New York, in 1907.

The manufacturer is BEBRIT: Bebrit-Preßstoffwerke GmbH in Bebra, Bebra is a small town in the district of Hersfeld-Rotenburg in the state of Hesse.
The company used the trade names Bebrit and Rulit for its phenol and urea-formaldehyde resins.

The products included parts for electrotechnical, radio and optical articles, but also fashion accessories and decorative and kitsch objects.

The Manager of the BEBRIT firm was Erich Braun, who joined the National Socialist German Workers' Party NSDAP with number 95,912 and who also became a member of the SA.
Erich Braun founded the local group NSDAP Bebra and was its local group leader.

The number 63 is not identified, the BEBRIT Firm had the license number 22 of of the German Bakelite Manufacturers Codes.

Without a doubt, this is at the moment the Best piece of my Collection.

Cheers.

Hermann Neef (born September 2, 1904 in Templin ; † November 18, 1950 in Berlin ) was a German chief customs secretary and member of the Reichstag at the time of National Socialism .
Neef joined the NSDAP (membership number 9.249) in the early 1920s and became a member of the SA in 1923 .

From October 1933 until the end of the war, he was also leader RDB with title of Reichsbeamtenführer.

Badge with unknown NR marking and code Ges Gesch "gesetzlich geschützt" (legally permitted / protected by law) in a curious version of buttonhole in German called "Knopfloch Dekoration" or "Knopflochspange"

The RDB badge is very small and its pin usually measures only 1.06 cm, so pinning it on clothing should not be easy.
 

The option of using a buttonhole on the jacket is very comfortable.

Thank you Mr. Scowen , a magnificent photograph.

RDB member and his family, the man wears traditional costume in Austria called Trachten.

Curiously, he wears an RDB insignia from the first version, a larger eagle with an older design.

The 1st model RDB Insignia is from the early 1930s, without RZM marking, only Ges Gesch. marking (Gesetzlich Geschutz) legally protected.

EXTREMELY RARE part.

Size: 2.04cm by 1.09cm. versus the 2.02cm by 1.05cm of the 2nd version badges.

Its main characteristics are:
- Larger than the rest of the badges
- Different stripes on each wing, the lines are different on the right wing and the left wing.
- Plumage engraved on neck and wings.
- Strong and short bill with marked nostril
- The claws seem collected and do not come out of the swastika, they end at an angle.
- Rear hitch formed by a metal piece added on the pin and welded to the badge, the rest of the pieces have the pin directly welded.

This piece is larger and the design is more sober.

* The first RDB Insignia model that I show is, unfortunately, no longer in my collection.

Here you have the RDB identification card of the 1st model

Mitgliedskarte - Identification card / card

Vor und Zuname - Name and Surname

Amtsbezeichnung - Title / Position

Wohnort - Residence / Address

1937 card with member number: 632078 belonging to Hermann Leister, born 12/01/1885 and assistant to the Post Office.

1940 card with member number: 1421808 belonging to Alois Sommer , born 13/2/1874 and groom (¿ Person riding a horse in front of the carriages ?)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The numbered cards of RDB members of the 1st model range from 1936 to 1940, when the color cards of the 2st model were created.

For some unknown reason, the numbers on these cards are not always correlative depending on their date.

We can find a 1937 card with a lower number than a 1936 card ...

Badge marking with 8 (Ferdinand Wagner Pforzheim) and the RZM symbol inside a circle.

RDB Collection by Gefreiter Otto

Here you have the RDB identification card of the 2nd model, more attractive and somewhat more elaborate than the first type.

This model appears from 1941 to 1942.

It is a card measuring 13cm by 9.08cm, on cardboard and with a beautiful emblem of the RDB insignia.
 

The card belonged to Karl Huster, barely 16 years old and Student.

At the end of 1942, the RDB already had more than 1.800.000 members.

These cards usually have a single number at the bottom that I don't even know what they meant.

Administrative Region or similar?
So far I have seen these numbers:

1 - Kempten "Gau Westmark" - Dresden "Gau Sachsen"
2 - Auerbach "Gau Sachsen"
3 - Minden "Westfalen-Nord"
10 - Dirschau "Danzig – Westpreußen"
13 - Halle "Gau Sachsen"

Approximate translation of the document:

This card serves as identification for members of the RDB.
It must be kept with care, its loss must be notified immediately to the RDB
The fraudulent use in the management of social benefits of this identification will be immediately reported to the RDB.
In the event of death, the owner of this card must have the membership fees up to date to enjoy all the social benefits

Dear Scowen

Nine years ago I started a similar collection, but the crisis came to Spain and shortly after I had to abandon collecting and sold all the pieces ...

Now I regret it.

As if that were not enough, the server where I had all the photos deleted almost all of them.

I got to have an eagle of the first version like the one you show us .....

Now I do not know if one day I will be able to get a similar piece, in these years I have only seen 4 :

-Yours.

-The one I had and sold.

-One for sale in Huesken for an exorbitant price for me and another in Militaria321 also unattainable for my economy.

My project with this collection is for two years, I hope to expand it little by little.

You also have a WONDERFUL photo of an RDB member, it will be fantastic if he shares it here.

Thanks for his input.

I have recently started a small collection focused on the RDB "Reichsbund der Deutschen Beamten" (State League of German Public Officials) that included all the civilian personnel who managed the intricate and highly complex administrative fabric of the Reich.

This organization was established towards the end of 1933, within the NSDAP and its objective was the administrative control of all the state organizations, the so-called Gleichschaltung (synchronization) to serve the interests of the Reich.

I hope you like it, little by little I will put all my pieces.

After 9 years, I have started my collection focused on RDB from scratch.

shortly I will show the pieces that I have, at the moment there are few ...

Postcard-size photograph of an RDB member and his family. I have not been able to identify the neck patches of the young soldier ... A sailor? a postman or similar?

Tinnie or insignia commemorating 550 years of the University of Cologne (in German Köln), 1388/1938.
This university is one of the oldest in Europe, It was inaugurated by Pope Urban IV.

My collection is centered on the RDB "Reichsbund der Deutschen Beamten" and this piece does not interest me.

Does anyone know what value it could have?

Thanks¡
