Hi Bill, thanks for adding your example. Always good to be able to compare pieces. It's nice to be of some help.

Hello Don and Joe thanks for your replies. I figured I'd put mine in too because it's nice to have threads with as many badges and makers that we can. Thanks

Here my sign. It Ehrennadel as it is specified in the catalog of Huskena, or simply version?

[Scowen]

looks like an Ehrennadel to me, very nice too.

Cheers

Thought that I'd add a couple more variations for anyone interested:

Hermann Aurich, their correct symbol (as opposed to the fake form of this where the "H" looks more like a "B") is under the Ges. Gesch & hidden by the pin.

[Scowen]

And one I've never seen before, Hillenbrand & Bröer, Ludenscheid.

Double marked with their full name plus their initials "HB". They have also used Ges. Geschutz rather than the shorter version.

Another interesting point, this is a tad smaller than the normal Abeits Dank pin coming in at 21 x 14mm rather than the usual 22 x 15mm....

Cheers

A couple of great pictures Odulf, thank you for posting them. However I suspect that it is not an "Arbeits Dank" badge that he is wearing but rather the "RAD Honour pin" (Erinnerungsnadel), see here http://gmic.co.uk/in...showtopic=13608

I'm very interested in the other pin he is wearing. It looks like the RAD Ostpreußen traditions cap badge, however the centre of the cross on the badge he is wearing shows a white area. The standard RAD Ostpreußen badge does not have this, see the attached image for comparison.

[Mijke]

And.......

[Mijke]

And the boys all together......

[Scowen]

Good to hear from you again Mijke & of course cloth examples are acceptable. To be honest I've never seen one before so thank you for showing it.

A lovely set indeed, do any of the pins have maker marks?

Thanks for sharing them with us.

Cheers

Don

[Mijke]

Maker marks: Honor pin(left) Ges.Gesch., Stickpin Ges.Gesch., Top right Ges.Gesch., Bottom right Ges.Gesch. Pretty boring but original!!

[--dj--Joe]

I've got to start paying closer attention. I've been missing some top notch posts.

Mijke, nice assemblage. Would the cloth piece be for the sports shirt?

Don, could the large pin in question on Odulf's image be religious? I think I see a cross on the pocket of the upper picture.

I also thought singing or music related. (?)

Odulf, nice pictures, thanks for showing them.

Nice additions Don. I'd not seen the Hillenbrand & Bröer any time before. Interesting their set up of the HB.

I agree with your observation considering the Ostpreußen traditions badge, the centre of the badge is reflecting the light of the flash, and it shows like white... Also, the Abteilingsabzeichen (6/10) is from Ostpreußen, thus conforming the Erinnerungsabzeichen.

Ostpreußen traditions badge with reflected glare, I do believe you gents are correct. My eyes keep seeing differently day to day.

I thought I would add Dinsel to this thread. Know if I remember to write down my new password I will be able to contribute a little.

[BURGERHAUS]

East Prussian Traditions Badge. Worn on the side of the cap? If it were this on his sport jacket I would pity the jacket. Paulman and Crone.

PS This is the final piece I received from Herr Niemann before his retirement. His timing was impeccable!

[BURGERHAUS]

Reverse and as ever mods can feel free to move any and all of my posts in any way the deem fitting.

I would assume that the patch would be for the sports shirt.......knowing Don, I would think that he has a picture of it being worn in his sock drawer!! Mike

[Mijke]

Good to see you around Robert.....hope collecting is going well. Mike

[BURGERHAUS]

Mike Going slowly unfortunately. In order to add I must subtract and a very hard thing to do. Best Regards

Sorry for my late replies... Holidays!

I'm not convinced that it is reflected light.... That was my first thought, but when you compare both pictures the badge is at different angles in each one & the white area is still in the same spot, plus the lighting is different. Surely the spot would have moved if the badge is angled differently?

I thought I would add Dinsel to this thread. Know if I remember to write down my new password I will be able to contribute a little.

Great to see you back Robert, thank for sharing the Dinsel with us, another new one on me.

I'm afraid not Mijke, wish I had though...
