Brig Posted July 5, 2019 Share #1 Posted July 5, 2019 So over the years of collecting 57er miniatures, I have often acquired many a non-57er pin in a deal, most of which I assume to be veteran organization/reunion pins. Top row, I have no ideas at all... I know the BDKK pins are for the Association of German War Damaged...I have found the silver wreath to be for 25 years membership, and the gold for 40 years The 25 pin with the anchor I have found is for the Bundeswehrverband, a veteran organization. Is this for 25 years of membership? The FJ one I assume is a reunion group or event...does anyone know more The two with Luftwaffe eagles are for the Deutscher Luftwaffenring veteran organization, but again not sure what the differences mean. I assume the one with just a ring is membership, but what about the one with the wreath? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted July 7, 2019 Share #2 Posted July 7, 2019 First row, left: The pin incorporates the insignia of 1. Luftwaffendivision (1st Air Force Division) interestingly w/o the NATO star so I think it's from the 1960's. First row, center: Generic Surmgeschütz pin. I have seen all kinds of tanks, planes and ships etc. In this case worn by by a former StuG crew member. First row, right: Most likely a yacht club pin. Second row right. Yes, it's a 25 years membership pin from the Deutscher Bundeswehrverband (German Army advocacy Assosiation) for active and reserve personnel. I assume that these pins do not come from the same veteran, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted July 7, 2019 They do not, they were collected over the years mixed in with various 57er stickpins. Thanks for all the IDs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
