DBV Eagle Stickpin

[hwjoe]

Hi Everyone,

I've been sorting through my stickpins, randomly acquired over the years, usually mixed in with lots of WHWs or Tinnies.  This DBV eagle stickpin has me stumped.  Doing a Google search of DBV Eagle Germany gave me hits in six Organizations with DBV initials on the first page alone and none had an eagle as their symbol.  It has 800 on the back.

Deutsche Bauerverband - farmers

Deutscher Bibliotheksverband - librarians

Deutscher Beton- und Bautechnik-Verein - building contractors

Deutscher Burgerverein - castles

Deutscher Bridge Verein - the game of Bridge

Deutscher Baseball and Softball Verband - baseball & softball

Anyone have any idea on this one?  Thanks.

Joe

Hi Joe,

it is an older but postwar stickpin of the "Deutsche Beamten-Versicherung", an insurance company for German officials.
