Scowen Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 I thought that we may try something a little different here, how about an enamel & membership badge manufacturers database? Many membership badges such as the NSAD & Deutschen Christen only ever had one maker. However, many of the more common badges were contracted to several manufacturers. Lets see if we can start a database of the various makers & marks from the more common badges. I do not intend to feature the Party badge as that has been done with great success on WAF, but the H.J. diamond I'm sure could be equally as interesting, along with many of the more common badges. Here's how we run it: Start a thread as normal, adding/posting any known maker variants as we find them. I will post the link for it here, so that it can be reached quickly for future reference.

BURGERHAUS Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 Excellent Idea Don. My Frauenschaft collection has been growing lately so we can start to go on it whenever time and inclination permits. There are plenty of differnet makers of these. We will all be learning a lot from this. Robert
Scowen Posted August 15, 2006 Author Posted August 15, 2006 Thanks Robert, I hope that it will be a success, as you can see I've added a couple of more. I'm holding off on the Frauenschaft at the moment as I'm not sure how to tackle them, there are so many variations as well as makers. However once I've thought it through we'll do them as well.CheersDon
--dj--Joe Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 Don, a note worthy idea! Wish I could be of more assistance.Any items I have that you wish to see posted, you have but to ask!--dj--Joe
VonBierStein Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Just started my collection a little while ago. This info. will seriously help. Thanks.
Scowen Posted October 30, 2007 Author Posted October 30, 2007 Thanks for the comment VonBierStein, I hope you find it useful, we aim to add some more examples soon. I'm looking forward to seeing some of your items on the forum CheersDon
Guest IMHF Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 With all the links you added on this post, it makes it easier to find all the information and great photos you posted on the WWII German badges and pins.Thank you very much, some of the badges you posted I have never seen before:Lorenzo
--dj--Joe Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Looks good Don, Thank you for all the work that went into this superb database. --dj--Joe
Guest IMHF Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Looks good Don, Thank you for all the work that went into this superb database. --dj--Joe I agree, job well done Lorenzo
Scowen Posted August 17, 2010 Author Posted August 17, 2010 Thank you Gentlemen, I've also added the SA Reserve II. If you have any with a different maker please add them. Cheers Don

Wood Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Hi Don, Maybe you can put these two in their respective sections. 1. Jungstahlhem. Edited March 21, 2013 by Wood
Scowen Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 Hi Pete, I'm not sure whether we have a Stahlhelm thread, I'll have a look, it maybe in the Imperial section. Cheers Don 1
--dj--Joe Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Still my favorite database. Sometimes I have problems locating it. Probably just me. If I click on "Organizational Badges" in either the red bar or blue bar I do not wind up here. I do if I click on Enamel & membership badge manufacturers database --dj--Joe
Kleinepanzerfaust Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Hi all ! I don't think there is one yet.NSKG - Nationalsozialistische Kultur Gemeinschaft. C.Poellath, Schrobenhausen Regards
--dj--Joe Posted October 26 Posted October 26 (edited) Not a membership badge I ever got around to collecting, so I can not contribute. Would bronze be the base color for these badges? I did locate an older topic showing a double C. Poellath Schrobenhausen marking. (Click on the arrow in the upper right corner of the link). --dj--Joe Edited October 26 by --dj--Joe ? +
Kleinepanzerfaust Posted October 28 Posted October 28 Hi . In fact, I've seen NSKG badges, just like mine. Bronze seems to be the primary material. Thanks for the link, I hadn't noticed it before. Regards
