Hauptmann Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Didn't know where else to post this. Hoping for an ID/info if anyone happens to know. Guessing from an organization or society? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v.Perlet Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) Hello Hauptmann, looks like a pin-on from one of those countless WW1 German veterans organizations. e.g. Allgemeiner Bund Deutscher Krieger/Kriegsveteranen ? Could even be Bund Deutscher Krieger/Kriegsveteranen - I am getting stuck on the A = Amerika? They had dozens if not hundreds of these German WW1 veterans organizations in the USA, did you obtain this badge in the States? I am sure someone from this site will know more about it.

Hauptmann Posted January 26, 2022 Author Share Posted January 26, 2022 Many thanks V.Perlet. Actually it's one I spotted on the web and was wondering what it was. I'd posted over on WAF as well and they nailed it down as the center EK from the 57er German Cross in Gold. I knew I'd seen it somewhere but just couldn't remember last night. I had the same thought re: vets organization but as to which one there's no telling. But at least one part of the mystery is solved. Thanks again!

BlackcowboyBS Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Maybe Bund Deutscher Afrika Kämpfer, so the veterans of the Africa corps? But I have never seen this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Bund Deutscher Krieger, and the A could be the town? If he customized his dkig or dkis there's a good chance that he did the same to his other badges, too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v.Perlet Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 i am pretty sure it is a WW1 Veterans association related object. The only object I could find was a pin on beholding the same lettering Bund der Asienkämpfer (BDAK) What someone might use or missuses such an item for would be likely another topic.
