Re: pin (N S-frauenfchaft)
Hello:
I do not as yet have a reference book that will explain what this pin is.
It is triangular with black enamel. It has a stick figure with round head and above in red lettering N S - frauenfchaft.
Does anyone have any idea what this was for?
I know what frauen means but other than that ?
On the back are markings M1/102 and a round circle with PZM which I presume is maker.
Thankyou
Annelie

Hello Annelie!
I don't exactly know what pin that is, but it is one of the NS-Frauenschaft (National Socialist Women´s Group). NS-Frauenschaft was officially instituted on October 1, 1931 as Party organization. The leader of the NS-Frauenschaft was Reichsfrauenführerin Gertrud Scholtz-Klink. NS-Frauenschaft was very closely linked to NSV (National Socialist State Welfare Federation) and Deutsche Arbeitsfront.
About the backside markings: there is a round circle with letters RZM (Reichszeugmeisterei). The maker´s number is so called LDO (Leistungsgemeinschaft Deutscher Ordenshersteller) number M1/102 which means that pin was produced by the firm Philipp Türks Ww, Vienna.

Hi,
What you describe is the Type III of the Member's pin of the N.S. Frauenschaft (Nazi's Women's League). The "stick figure" you mention is the "life rune." What you described as a "round head" is a moblle swastika. The Type III badges produced in 1939 to 1940 were silver/nickle. Those made from 1940 to 1944 were a copper base with a nickle overlay.
