    Hi,

    it is a badge in an honouring system in the "Deutsche Krieger-Fechtanstalt".

    With "Fechten" is here not meant fencing! "fechten" is an old German word for "betteln" > begging

    The members of the organization are begging for orphanages. The more donations they begged, the higher the award.

    There had been other organizations like this, e,g, the "Fechtanstalt des Deutschen Kriegerbundes".

    Your badge is of a higher rank, "Oberbundesfechtmeister".

    Vielen Dank Uwe ! Erste Gedanken nach dem Wort "Fechtanstalt" waren natuerlich - fencing .... , dann kam Deine interresante Erklaerung

    Ganz interresante Idee , bin gerade beim Lesen darueber ( Freund aus dem deutschen Forum hat was fuer gefunden ) .
