Norwegian Pin?

[Redgemak]

Hello all

Could this be Norwegian or Ukrainian volunteers in the "14. SS-Freiwilligen Division Galizien." ?

Hi,
Regarding the flames on the red cross, I would say that this badge has nothing to do with the SS be they from Norway or Ukraine.
In my own opinion this is a fireman badge (probably from a local unit in Germany, unfortunately I can't tell you which town or county, could be Schwarzburg-Rudolfstadt).

It's post-war German.

This is the stickpin version of the Brandschutzehrenzeichen [Fire Protection Decoration], Stufe I [grade I] of the state of Hessen [Hesse], awarded for 25 years of active service in a volunteer fire brigade.
