A quick google search has shown no other examples of Hoffsatter Bonn markings like this. Not scientific or proper research but there is a pattern.
All the stick pins I have seen marked Hoffsatter Bonn also have the Ges Gesch marking as well.
Here are a few examples.
An SA Stickpin by Hoffstatter-Bonn
- DAFJ members lapel pin
SS membership buttonhole pin
Wittmann Antique Militaria #41168C SA Membership Stickpin
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them
"Don't tell me these are investments if you never intend to sell anything" (Quote: Wife)
Thanks MAP, I appreciate the research.
I searched the internet for this pin, and the only example I found was another one someone had up for sale.
The same markings on that pin as well.
Update: There was a very informative post by a member on our FB page " Arbeitsdienst and Reichsarbeitsdienst, FAD, RAD, RADWJ Collectors " The stickpin in question is actually
the " Insignia " of " The Bund der Notgemeinschaften ehemaliger Arbeitsdienstangehoriger
und iher Hinterbliebenen " or BNA for short. The following pics, document and explanation
is by Ed van Engeland, a historian and archivist very well versed in most if not all aspects
relating to the Reichsarbeitsdienst and other similar groups. Also attached are male and
female version .. Enjoy.. G
I'd rather be A "RaD Man than a Mad Man "
Must admit, I wasn't even aware of that organisation's existence. Thanks for solving the mystery!
It looked like a Vet Association pin to me, but haven't seen one like this before thanks GWAR
