The Prussian Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Hello! I don´t think, it´s a military button. DSV could stand for Deutscher Schiffahrtsverein or Deutscher Segelverein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuka f Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Hello, it sure is not military and even not German, ...I think. The D could stand for Dublin... for instance. |< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frances Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 The reason I thought it is German is because it came with German naval tally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
