Nick Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytop Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Hi, it is for promotors, "Fördernde Mitglieder des NS-Reichskriegerbundes". For me it looks good.

Scowen Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 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.CheersDon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
