Organisational Badges Frauenwerk badge

[chrisjburr]

Well I joined here back here in february when I bought a vase and was pondering which direction my new collection would take,(http://gmic.co.uk/in...haft-porcelain/) ...well here goes...first of many many badges to come...I paid £18 for this today..is that about right? I believe maker to be Karl Wurster. All comments and advice welcome and I'm also in the market for related items ;)

For me that would be a fair price. Now you need to get the larger version of this badge. Thanks for showing.

Indeed a nice piece, there are plenty of "Frau" pieces to collect.... You should have fun finding them.

Welcome to the forum.

Cheers

Hi there, Just an update with my latest purchase for £13....It looks worse in the photo than it actually is..the enamel somewhat pitted....hope to get at least one or two more on sunday at the militaria fair at the three counties showground , malvern......watch this space...

Are you planning to collect Frauenwerk badges by maker?

Frauenschaft badges give a collector and a collection variety of size color and style.

Also the womens DAF badges are colorfull.

I find it difficult to add any new items at a reasonable price. You are doing well.

I am starting along that road yes....and when I have got my head around how many makers there are I will start buying other Frau badges as and when they come along at a reasonable price...keep eye open for todays purchases ;)

Just a note concerning this. The two already posted are the 32mm variety...Please see next couple of posts for todays purchase :D

Ok as promised here is the first of todays purchases, (from the militaria fair at the three counties showground, malvern). I paid a little more for this one than I did the other two.£25. But these were the only two reasonably priced examples. The only other one was priced at £65 but could have had for £50, (too much for me as I'm collecting on a budget). It is the 32mm variety with rzm mark m1/72.

And now for the second one..purchased from the same dealer as the first...priced up at £30 each and got for £25 each,...this one is the 23mm variety with a rzm mark m1/128..I dont know how common thses badges are but there were only three on offer today and I bought two..

All comments and advice welcomed...I have also recently purchased a N.S. Frauenschaft song book for under £5..

Some more nice pieces there.

As a side note you may have noticed the different shape pin plate on the M1/158 (long & narrow with crimping). This was the favoured type of fixing plate for this company, Karl Pichl Innsbruck, & their sister company Alois Klammer, also of Innsbruck. In this case it's a good way to authenticate one of their pieces....

Cheers

You are going to be one busy collector. Wish I had a collecting focus.

This is a favorite link I keep referring to.

Good hunting, --dj--Joe

[BURGERHAUS]

I find I have 4 of these yet no larger version. Go figure.

PS If anyone has an extra large version I would gladly swap 2 of these I show for it.

I have a type II extra large, or do you mean a type III?

Thanks Brian

[BURGERHAUS]

Brian Yes I don't seem to have the larger Frauenschaft Type III. The type II I have pretty well covered except for Joe's x-tra klien Frauensch.

Frauenschaft Leader’s Staff Membership Badge with makers mark m1/27...this cost £20..I will post photos later ...chris

[chrisjburr]

ok as promised here are the photos of my latest purchases....the 2nd Pattern Orts Level NS. Frauenschaft Leader’s Staff Membership Badge with makers mark m1/27 is approx 36mm by 36mm and looks like it would benefit from a gentle clean. the other one is approx 31mm x 31mm..as usual any comments and advice are apreciated...chris
