    Is it known if Steinhaur & Luck was the only manufacturer that produced a miniature?

    --dj--Joe

    Hi Joe,

    I'm not sure, but so far I have only seen S&L marked ones.

    Here's another full size that I am sure is a fake. I do not like the RS marked types, nor the AK or "B" in a circle, but that is just my opinion.

    Cheers

    Don

    I agree totally with Don......just my opinion. Anyone out there ever see one with a yellow background?

    Anybody have anything to add to this topic in the last three years? I still haven't seen a yellow one or the 3-D red one or another one with oak leaves. Mike

    Sorry mate, never seen them before your thread, have you any more detail on the booklet as it looks like it has a few more pages under the cover?

    Cheers

    Jock :)

    Thanks for the reply Jock. I am out of town at the moment but when I get home I will scan a few pages of the document. I have several of them and they list the names and ages of the children. Mike

    Boy on a swing.

    PS I am thinking NSV is the umbrella for RDK. First one to find a yellow 3-D wins a prize. :whistle:

    Thanks Robert.......I would like to know about a yellow one or even about one with oak leaves. Mike

    Something like this one Mike?

    Can't say that I like it though, I don't like RS marked pieces plus it's on sale on a very dodgy website....

    I must agree with you Don. It looks painted and the children (little eagles) look adopted. Is RS for Souval or re-strike or Return to Sender?

    I just recently was able to grab the small version in red. After a long while I must say. First addition for this organization in a dogs' age. Regards Robert

    Don, 

    Have you seen or read of any additional information on the variants? Wreathed, the gold that you mentioned, color hierarchy (if any) of the two piece badges?

    Joe,

     

    Sorry, no, nothing official.  Although I have noticed that the larger dealers have started to list some of the coloured & 3D pieces with ranks such as the blue version for Kreisverbandsleiter, blue 3D for Kreisamtsleiter & the black for Mitarbeiter der Landesverbandsleitung : Landeswart, Landesamtswart, Landeskassenwart, Landessippenwart etc....

     

    However I don't know whether this is guess work or based on period evidence which I haven't seen.

    RDK founded 1922.

    So --- during the third Reich period from 1933 to 1940 it was the RDK. From 1940 to 1945 it was the RDF.

    All those badge variants for such a short time period. 

    If true that you had to have at least four children (three for widows?) I wonder how many would have qualified?

    Mothers and Fathers both qualified for the badge?

    Where are all the RDF badges?

    I have not seen an in wear image that I recall.

    I read that some time after 1945 it became the BKD merging in 1970 with the DFV. Please correct this if incorrect.

    Have noted several Mitglieds-Ausweis online, however the images were to small to see the changes to the dues stamps.

    Also wonder what emblem was used prior to 1933.

    I think I have an ausweis somewhere....  If I can find it I'll take a look.  I do have an RDF pin somewhere as well, quite boring compared to these.

    Posted

    Don,  the RDF pin must be a rare item. I have scoured the internet and only seen RDF images on paper items. Such as books and dues stamps.

     

    Regards, --dj--Joe
