Military Collectors Club Pick-Ups

[AlecH]

Hi,

Attended the military collectors club last saturday, bought a fair bit of WW2 German equipment, some German ww2 miniatures, organization badges, and a couple of tinnies. I'll put organization badges up for review.

First is a Technische Nothilfe (civil defence) 3rd Form stick pin, nicely made enamelled stick-pin measures 22mm square, on the reverse the wearers number is stamped, in this case 49737.

Second piece metal,although not stricty belonging to a organization was issued to personnel at Krupp's Germania Shipyard based in Kiel - Gaarden measures 24mm x 26mm. The shipyard built over 130 U-boots and the cruiser Prinz Eugon up to and during WW2. The date in this case - 22 August 1938 commemerates the launch of the cruiser Prinz Eugon - which later fought along side the Bismarck against the british fleet in the Atlantic.
