    1. Thanks for the posts Don, after reading them I did find the piece on page 403. Glad you mentioned the suspect paint work, I was wondering, as on mine and Weitze's badges there not one speck of paint / enamel on any of them, to me and mine hasn't a scratch there never was any paint. A compliment, this thread and others in the enamel & membership database are head and shoulders above anything else on offer, I could find in any of the military forums, when it comes down to in-depth detail. Cheers 

    2. Picked up these four stick-pins last summer, unsure exactly what three of them are for, left to right -

      (1) Looked through Hüskens catalogue, found to be a Nazi sympathisers badge.

      (2) Could be a WW1 veterans badge, never come across such a design, wound badge on top of a iron cross !

      (3) Swastika on flower (edelweiss) maybe for a Hochland Group sympathiser ?

      (4) Small pin - swastika in laurel wreath

      Does anyone have any ideas ?

      Regards

    3. Yes, the Schützen Konig looks a bit like a Christmas Tree - wearing his WW1 medals and shooting badges altogether. Looking through Hüskens Abzeichen catalogue, it seems both the Schützenbund and Schützenverband co-existed together at the time of the Third Reich, perhaps a member could give some information, about the differences between the two organizations. According to the catalogue the Verband had a lot more badge awards.

      Here's another Hunting and Shooting badge - nicely designed Tages Abzeichen badge for the cartel for hunting and sport shooting formed by Reichsjager Meister Herman Göring. It says under the swastika-clutching eagle: “Spende, Nation, Arbeit,” (Charity, Nation, and Work). The goals of the gentleman shooters and hunters - Charity,Nation,Arbeit -.measures 29mm square.

    4. Here's a couple of WW2 WHW stickpins used to support Deutscher Schützenverband - assume it was the forerunner of the Schützenbund first shown, there seem to be a lot of design variants, but the target feature in the design always seems prominent. I see that the Deutscher Schützenverband had a large number of different badges, strangely I've only found this thread or maybe I've been looking in the wrong places on the forum.

    5. Hello,

      I've had this small enamelled NSKK - Motorbrigade Hochland Wintersportskämpf 1937 badge for some time. Now and again, I do a trawl of the military sites, hoping to turn up another like this one, until now without any success. I wonder, have members come across this or a similar badge ?.
