gwb123 Posted July 9, 2019 #3 Posted July 9, 2019 The round dots look like the ceramic heating tiles you sometimes saw on very old stoves.
Jack the Collector Posted December 21, 2019 #4 Posted December 21, 2019 I have always found it interesting that this WHW pin is a reverse swastika.
daskrieg Posted December 22, 2019 #5 Posted December 22, 2019 Don't forget the swastika started its life not as a symbol of the Third Reich but a symbol of good luck throughout many cultures and countries including our own out of the Midwest with native Americans

So there are various small badges, the HK as the shining sun, which outshines everything. Well, a horseshoe and a shamrock would have looked pretty stupid The 45th I.D. not to be forgotten before 1939
