RDB Collection by Gefreiter Otto

Thank you for sharing.

 

How does the more elaborate early 1st. type compare in thickness?

Good morning¡¡

Unfortunately, I still do not have a 1st model RDB badge in my collection.

I think it's about as thick as a 2nd model badge, about 1mm.

Greetings

¡¡ latest acquisitions ¡¡
modest but interesting pieces for my RDB Collection.

Badge with Logo KW Karl Wurster, Markneukirchen

RDB member card of the 2nd model, started in January 1937, without number.
This card includes the years 1937, 1938 and 1939, each month when paying the established fee, the corresponding stamp was added.
 

 

This booklet has a pink shade between January 1937 and November 1938, I think I keep unglued stamps inside, or else someone very delicately peeled off all the seals ..... a pity .

 

 

RDB stamp stamped from 1937 with an unusual Greenish Gray color, normally these stamps are Pink.

1935 photograph of a Civil Marine with the insignia of the RDB

 

 

 

I have not been able to identify this badge in the form of a Rosette, I think it is red and the White circle

 

 

On the Cap badge, this veteran sailor wears an Iron Cross ...

 

 

Badge with RZM 5 Walter Simon- Dresden, a very little known manufacturer that uses a unique type of safety pin in this badge.

RDB Collection by Gefreiter Otto

Here you have the RDB identification card of the 2nd model, more attractive and somewhat more elaborate than the first type.

In this case, what is rare and exclusive is that it is a woman, an Official.

The card belonged to Marianne Vogel, just 26 years old.

I have not been able to translate her office....

This model appears from 1940 to 1942.

It is a card measuring 13cm by 9.08cm, on cardboard and with a beautiful emblem of the RDB insignia.

At the end of 1942, the RDB already had more than 1.800.000 members.

Approximate translation of the document:

This card serves as identification for members of the RDB.
It must be kept with care, its loss must be notified immediately to the RDB
The fraudulent use in the management of social benefits of this identification will be immediately reported to the RDB.
In the event of death, the owner of this card must have the membership fees up to date to enjoy all the social benefits

These cards usually have a single number at the bottom that I don't even know what they meant.

Administrative Region or similar?

So far I have seen these numbers:

1 - Kempten "Gau Westmark" - Dresden "Gau Sachsen"
2 - Auerbach "Gau Sachsen"
3 - Minden "Westfalen-Nord"
10 - Dirschau "Danzig – Westpreußen"
13 - Halle "Gau Sachsen"

 

I have not been able to translate her office....

Hi,

 

Sorry for taking so long to reply to this question, but I have many files to go through. 

 

I believe the badge is for one of the Marine Bunds, but I'm not totally sure which one.  Here is a picture from my files showing the badge in question.

 

Hope this helps a little

Badge marking M1/152 Franz Jungwirth, Wien

This eagle has a big eye.

I am very happy to be able to gradually incorporate pieces into my collection.

Cheers ¡¡

[Gefreiter otto]

I am very happy, today I add my first Tinnie to my collection.

 

- 1.Bez. Beamtentreffen Zwickau 14.15/4/1934 RDB

 

 

April 1934, the first RDB Day in the city of Ziwckau, sure there were Parades, Speeches, Brotherhood Lunch, etc...

 

 

 

By studying the part, I have been able to identify the manufacturer...

It has been a great surprise !!!

 

 

 

 

The manufacturer is M1/29 Otto Riedel, Zwickau, Curiously, this Jeweler and Engraver still exists...

 

.

 

 

 

I enclose a current photo of the Coat of Arms of the City of Ziwckau, reflected in the Tinnie.

Zwickau's patron saint is Saint Maurice, and around 1560 it was added to the city's coat of arms. Unusually, he was included neither as a fantastical figure nor as a noble savage, but as a mace-wielding black soldier.

In the representation of Tinnie, Saint Maurice does not come out....

 

 

For me, this little piece is wonderful, I am very happy, my collection gains in quality.

 

Chers ¡¡

Thank you very much Mister "The Prussian" for the information, very interesting.

 

-----------------------

A modest photograph of a member of the RDB wearing the insignia, unfortunately the image is not clear.

 

One of my dreams as a collector is to get a very sharp and clear photo of someone wearing this badge.

 

Cheers¡¡

[Gefreiter otto]

Same manufacturer, different marking, something common in many RDB insignia

- M1/14 Matthias. Oeschsler & Sohn, Ansbach

- Logo M.O.S Matthias. Oeschsler & Sohn, Ansbach

* There is a third version only with the number 14 and the RZM code.

Two modest acquisitions for my RDB collection. A small photograph showing the RDB insignia and an RDB membership card of a very young postal assistant by the name of Irmgard. It is rare to find women's cards.
