    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 excerpt from Jo's party badge book concerning pin attachments. I don't know if the same is true for potwar production or not, but it's good information for future reference. Thanks Andeas for the translation help! Kindest regards.

    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

    Must admit, I wasn't even aware of that organisation's existence. Thanks for solving the mystery!
