Picked up these four stick-pins last summer, unsure exactly what three of them are for, left to right -
(1) Looked through Hüskens catalogue, found to be a Nazi sympathisers badge.
(2) Could be a WW1 veterans badge, never come across such a design, wound badge on top of a iron cross !
(3) Swastika on flower (Edelweiß) maybe for a Hochland Group sympathiser ?
(4) Small pin - swastika in laurel wreath
Does anyone have any ideas ?
German Stick Pins ?
Re: German Stick Pins ?
Stick pin #1 is an early "Supporters" pin, appears original; Stickpin #2 is a POST W2 veterans pin; Pins #3 and #4 are also "supporters pins, the edelweiss is "Alpine areas". but are unofficial... locally produced (and also reproduced) items ... nothing official... "souvenir or supporters type pins... collectible certainly but nothing special...

Re: German Stick Pins ?
Thanks for the post John, stick pin 2 has now been put to bed as postwar WW2, had suspected stick pins 3 + 4 had more of a supporters function and didn't belong to any official organization. Always nice to get a second opinion, thanks for the help.
