Nick Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I managed to aquire a mixed bag of stickpins whilst in Hamburg at the weekend. A nice little bunch some post war veterans pins as well as a few Third Reich era. Believe all to be OK, but reserve judgement on the SS pin which I didn't find in the bag until I got back to the hotel. Will post a few close up on some of the more interesting ones.

Nick Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 What do you reckon on this one then as I have my doubts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BURGERHAUS Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 (edited) Nick Christmas comes early for you. I am curious about the RAD badge of honor in stick-pin. When you have the time and inclination, could you post a shot of the reverse. I have the pinback version which is marked so I am wondering about the stick-pin version. Also, is that a tie clasp I see in there as well? Merry Christmas and thank you for this forum.

Scowen Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 A nice bag of tricks you found yourself Nick.Can't help with that last one, been through all my references & there's nothing like it I'm afraid, sorry.The SS civil pin isn't really my area either, but I wouldn't be comfortable with one that didn't have a makers mark & serial number.......Nice looking yellow Arbeits Dank pin, is there any sign of the pin being replaced? I've only seen pinbacks of these before.CheersDon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Lumsden Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 The SS one is a well-known repro, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 The SS one is a well-known repro, unfortunatelyCheers Robin I thought as much. I did not even see it when I bought it I was more interested in the RAD and Kyffh?user pins, so was suprised when I found it in the bag. Not something you would let go so easily if original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BURGERHAUS Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Nick Thank you for showing your RAD items. Maybe we could start a thread on RAD to show all of the diferent makers and their design characteristics. Maybe start out with Arbeits Dank pin back...Arbeit Dank stick-pin both in red and yellow etc. etc. We could probably go a long way with a thread like that to include cap badges and other regalia. It would be a great learning experience for this still relatively inexpensive section of our hobby. Have a good day and night. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
