    2. 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.

    3. 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.
