BURGERHAUS Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 [attachmentid=57464][attachmentid=57465]Gents I have trying for quite some time to naildown the time frame for this stickpin. I guess it would be a light metal craft flying group. The maker is Lehmann & Wundenberg Hanover who is not among the RZM makers. I am hoping another member could take a look and speculate. Another brainteaser will follow this one. Take Care and thank you. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerd Becker Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 The wings form a "VW" so i assume, it has maybe something to do with Volkswagen? "Betriebs-Sport-Abteilung" means Company-sports-department, but the "Leichtmetall" (light metal) doesn?t make sense in this connection, although its not impossible, that VW had a seperate branch or factory for light metal in my opinion.I am curious, what other german speaking members think.Nice one, Robert. best,Gerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scowen Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Lehmann & Wundenberg, Hanover was making badges during the NS period as I have a racing pigeon badge made by them. I won't post it here as it will deviate from the question, but at least you know that the manufacturer was around at that time.CheersDon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I too believe that this badge is from the period (thanks Bob) and although I cannot agre 100% that it has anything to do with VW, it is certainly something to do with gliders made of aluminium (perhaps) than wood and canvas.Regards,Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
