Yes Don, always a nice thing to have, back up evidence. I see Weitze's newly revamped site has a stick-pin variant of this badge on offer, again made by Hoffstätter - Bonn.

Picked up this membership badge - Bund Deutscher Osten small 1,5cm x 1,8cm. Organization concerned with the Eastern territories and German peoples annexed at the end of WW1. Made by Hofstätter Bonn.

Picked up this NS Lehrerbund Badge and members card. Diameter is 2,1 cm - maker Hofstättler : Bonn - It does have "hatching" effect shown on Don's 5th post picture

Here's another von Gablenz signature dated 9 September 1941 written on a Kraftfahrer citation - he was at the time Kdr. 7th Infantrie Division on East front. Signature has hardly changed

Don - yours looks in much better shape than mine. Don't expect to see many of these badges posted, hardly remember seeing any on the forums. Do you have anything on 1st & 2nd types ? Cheers

Picked up this DBV (Deutscher Büro u. Behördenangestellten Verband) enamelled badge members badge 3rd Type stick-pin - small, no makers mark. I wonder, perhaps members would like to show any 1st & 2nd types they may own, I know I would like to see them or indeed any 3rd type they own. Looked for a thread covering these badges, unable to find anything. Cheers Ps - a swine to photograph black enamel.

KdF Mediterranean Trips -1938 - 1939 Large metal 4cm x 4cm Badge - not shown before. Maker: F.Hoffstätter Bonn

Here's a pin I picked up sometime ago

Well Don - its a comfort, at least you've seen them before - I couldn't find another one anywhere in the internet, military forums or in my Tieste catalogue. Thanks

Couple of weeks ago picked up this Large (3.5cm x 5.3cm) metal tinnie connected with 1936 Olympic Adlerschiessen. At the time I was at a loss as to what exactly Adlerschiessen was ? Spoke today to a friend, a hobby shooter - apparently there's a shooting disciple in Germany using a rifle and small calibre bullets 4,5mm - shooting at (instead of a round target) a spread black eagle target trying to shoot the wings or legs off the target (included is a picture). I ask members have they seen this tinnie before or know anything about this Olympic discipline ? any relevant info welcome.

Hello Burgerhaus, Sorry the picture is a bit dark, here's another shot - a lighter shot (still not the best I've ever done) depicts, I take to be a KdF's trip to the Oberbayern Alps with the sun, rising above the mountain peaks.

Württemberg-Hohenzollern KdF1935 fahrt Oberbayern ------- although Tieste's catalogue shows 4x KdF Wütrttember-Hohenzollern 1935 badges -- this isn't one of them (at least in my catalogue) any member seen it before ?

Have this large 38mm metal Stahlhelm stickpin with worn ribbon.

Thanks Don,Östa for the help. I did a google search actual didn't turn up so much information as such, a small number on offer at different sites in 35 - 50€ price range, with the dearest on offer by far, as to be expected, tended by Hüskens 135€.

Picked up this small (16mm diameter x 22mm long) RJA badge at the weekend. Unable to find it in Hüskens catalogue or on any military sites, can anyone tell me where it belongs. Any relevant information welcome.
