Strange Badge/Pin, NSB possible?

#1

Post by Edpin » 14 Oct 2014, 01:14

Guys,

Can anyone here shed some light on this strange badge worn by an official (officer rank, elevated career)?
Possibly an NSB Service Pin?

Your info will be very appreciated.

Cheers :)

No clue, but NOT the NSB pin.... might be a "factory workers ID pin" type.... but guessing here also.

look like Winter-Hilfswerk, Kriegs Hilfswerk or NS tinies for some social occasion.

John G. & Georges JEROME,

Thank you for your responses.
So I assume it's just an unofficial pin, right? :)

Cheers Guys

that's my conviction. I saw so many différents items in regard of NS social occasions.

I suggest you to type "W.H.W. Abzeichen" on search engine to see the wide range of badges and tinies produced before and during the wartime (Kriegs Winterhilfswerk)

All:
While photos are known of "Military" men wearing W.H.W. type pins (or tinneys) on their uniforms.... it was against regulations. Also, the photo is "wartime", few WHW pins (or other "tinneys"/"Day badges") were made durning the war.... so that's why I suggested it might be a "workers badge", (or "authority badge", pass, etc.)...

Doubt it's WHW, but "who knows"...
