Rocky Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) Gent's, For those of you who know me I love to collect eclectic militaria. I like Patriotic Jewelry and items that were made and given to someone special. I do hope you enjoy this piece that is ~ 4.0 cm X 5.5 cm that can be worn as a pendent or broach. The reverse is marled 800 with a 1/4 moon and full crown and G.HERMELING and GES.GESCH. Roughly translated EIN MANN MIT GOTT IST IMMER IN DER MAJORITAET 1914 - 1945 ------ A man with god is always in the majority 1914 - 1915.

IrishGunner Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Interesting piece; particularly the wings. And the eagle looking so much like the Bundesrepublik's. Wish you had the personal story behind the origins. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

army historian Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 very teutonicool! i wonder what the dangly ball-bearing thingy on the bottom pertains to?? Depending on where the brooch was worn - maybe a lady's tickler. Cheers Captain Albert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
