Raz Posted May 27, 2005 Posted May 27, 2005 These are interesting pins, they are thought to be graduation pins for those whoattended the Staatsschule fur Fuhrertum u.Politik in Egendorf.There are 2 types of pin I have seen, one comes as a stick pin and another in pin back form. They can be found either with 0.800 or 0.900 silver marks.My stickpin:The other in pin back form:
Raz Posted May 27, 2005 Author Posted May 27, 2005 (edited) With the help of the internet Monty Backer was able to find more info aboutthe history of the school building itself in Egendorf. Here is his writeup, unfortunately the forum suffered a crash and the picsare temporally MIA ...http://www.collectorscommunity.net/viewtopic.php?t=365Here's a postcard I found on the net showing the Egendorf School building.I didn't think these pins were faked yet, that's until I saw this one on a shifty USdealer site. Very sloppy in its details, not to mention the DIY pin jobbie.If anyone else has more info on these pins please share... Edited November 22, 2005 by Chairman
Nick Posted May 27, 2005 Posted May 27, 2005 RazNice pins I like the design.I learn something new every day
M Baecker Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 Ah... our all time favourite pin. Allow me to add mine which is the 0.900 silver variant.As for the writeup... well, my por writing skills getting so much attention is kind of embarrasing. However, due to the crash the article was pretty messed up. So I decided to take it off the site for the moment. But sooner or later it will be available for download as a PDF document under the link provided above.Cheers,Monty
Raz Posted June 4, 2005 Author Posted June 4, 2005 I actually saw a cased example on Manions a while back. Although I suspectthe case had nothing to do with the pin.
Rosenberg Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Hello,what makes you believe this was a graduation pin?Do you have any reference for that?I always thought the badge type version was the "member-pin" and as a school sometimes has guest-teachers I thought those were the recipients of the stick-pin,as honory members.This is just what I think and not based on any kind of reference apart the fact that there were definetly guest-teachers out there.
Raz Posted October 13, 2005 Author Posted October 13, 2005 With no written refferences as to exactly what this badge is it is only an assumtion it is someform of graduation or as you suggest a member pin.
Rosenberg Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 (edited) I forgot,I got the "brooch" version. Edited October 17, 2005 by Rosenberg
Adlerhorst Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 I got one Egendorf badge together with a little certificate that the person has absolved the school there which interests were to communicate the NS ideas to the civil servants of the Reich.
Raz Posted October 28, 2017 Author Posted October 28, 2017 would love to see the certificate Adlerhorst
