Organisational Badges Fördernde Mitglieder NSRKB

[Nick]

I presume this pin was awarded either for promoting membership in the NSRKB or as indication that you were a membership promoter/representative ?? I hope it is good as despite the pin being off centre it feels right.

Hi,

it is for promotors, "Fördernde Mitglieder des NS-Reichskriegerbundes". For me it looks good.

Yes Nick, the same principle as with the SS/FM, monthly contributions would be made to help fund the organisation.

A nice find, these only rarely turn up, & even less with the translucent orange/red enamel as seen here, more often they have a heavier opaque enamel shield. I much prefer these translucent versions. As an interesting side note, these translucent types often have offset pin mountings (including the pinbacks types), no idea why.

Cheers
