My third OdR pin.

Gents,
Some more OdR "stuff", first up is an OdR insignia. RKT often wore these on their sports jackets at reunions...

[Nick Hessens]

Next is a great photo of two RKT, on the left we have Oberst Walther Dahl and on the right Generalmajor Otto Ernst Remer.

I hope you like it!

And last but not least an even rarer stickpin than the ones I already have, It's marked with GdR for 'Gemeinschaft der Ritterkreuzträger'. The name of the organisation changed from GdR to OdR in the early 60s...

Nick, fantastic additions ! especially the GdR pin...rare ! I mist out on a cloth insignia just before Christmas...I did not bid enough
Here are some photos I have of Dahl's funeral, I bought last year..............the order bearer is also an RK holder, Friedrich Winter.
Prost ! Steve.

Thanks Steve! Those are very nice photos, I actually forgot about them. Let me know if you ever sell them...

I got the patch from ebay, we must've been bidding on the same one.

Regards,
Nick

Added nice early S&L OL to my collection, it's the 'versilbert' version. The reverse bears the 'O' mark and mm L21, of course the LDO mark is not original and was scratched on later.

Enjoy the pics!
