Top left police?
Top, left to right: Reichsbahn and two political
Second row: first political and middle is state official (I believe)
all other nazi symphatizers I guess. The lower one was in
use by many organizations.
Can't tell from the photos if they are okay!
Thank you for that, from someone of your expertise to take the time to do that was beyond my expectations, regards
I checked various catalogues and it was for me a surprise
in none of them the swastika buttons were offered. So, to
be honest I have no idea for what they were used. I thought
it could be for symphatizers. I had a look at hunderds and
hunderds of buttons. No answer!
A few I scanned from the Assmann-catalogue:
a special button for the Reichsbahn-greatcoat
for state officials; diplomats had a globe with eagle.
Thanks for this its a good learning tool. The swastika buttons i assumed had some denotation of rank being gold and silver in colour, but they are a mystery at present. The rears arent much help. I convinced myself there was an Assman A but its just corrosion
I wouldn't expect to see TR era buttons unmarked , it the land of Ges.Gesh and RZM .
True, i had visions of them being for a branch of the ost territories government or such like, one of those where the hope was more than the reality. If they are bogus then they have been manufactured to a high standard. Perhaps the answer will turn up in the fullness of time.
Foreign produced is a possibility .
