Fantasy piece of the 4th reich

A friend of mine sent these pics of a pin. My 2 cents is that its a fantasy piece. But I would like other opinions because I have been surprised in the past. Thanks for your time.. Darren.

Not something that would appear to be 4th Reich IMHO. That said, I don't know what it is. A patriotic pin maybe? Unique catch style though.

I vote for tie clip..........

I was thinking the same about the catch. At some point you think you've seen everything there is and something turns up that surprises you. Here's what I know for sure. This was in a grouping sold with a dress bayonet, HJ knife and Geco mauser from a veterans son today by my friend.

If we are guessing I will say Goering's toothpick.

I still say it's a pin (or broach) of some type. Either way, I think it is period. There isn't the plethora of RZM, SS runes or skulls all over it

No way would that thing be large enough to dislodge anything jammed in that fat bastards mouth!

If the shown brooch is old or new is sometimes difficult to say
and even more it is easy to say it is fourth Reich. Lots of items
like such were offered.

Here a part of a sales-list from an Austrian seller from 1932/1933:

The numbers 51, 52 and 53 are brooches refered to as Brosch-Nadel.

In manufacturers catalogues one can find more of them with all kinds of symbols,
like TD for gymnastics and such.
