Two small German lapel pins

[Mervyn Mitton]

These were in the box with the armbands - so, they have the same provenance.

Both are named for separate units - your comments will be gratefully received.

Pete - when you say a set of 20, I take it that these are modern ? Mervyn

No Mervyn, wartime (1940) a street collection donation token (Winterhilfswerke) on behaf of the NSKOV, DRK, NSRKB and RTB. These ones are plastic, but others came in a variety of materials, from tin (hence tinnies) to clay, terracotta, cloth, wood etc.etc.
