Hi all,
I’m starting to get back to some old projects. Had to put a lot on hold last year when we moved and just started getting around to unpacking some of my collections.
Anyway, I’ll be able to be more active going forward and looking to reconnect with many of you.
I’m looking for some help with these, to hopefully make it easy I obviously numbered the paper next to each one. Any information is always greatly appreciated, I tried to do online research but some of these I don’t even know where to start particularly with an explanation on how to search. I assume some are fakes, but thought I’d put it up and see what I can learn from you all.
Hopefully the pictures displayed well, it’s been a while for me so I am reacquainting myself with posting and adding pics.
#7 is a bronze drivers proficiency badge missing the cloth backing, #2 and #3 Veterans pins, #1 and #8 Rad cap badge , pins, ? #4 some kind of tinnie day or badge possibly Veteran related, #5 and #6 some type of marksmanship shooting badge. At least now you have enough to look them up and compare photo's and look for proper German terminology.
Hello, Slight correction.. Number one is most likely a Reichsarbeitsdienst fur dir weibliche Jugend or RADwJ womens version of the RAD denoted by the wheat sheaves and swastika and appears to be a tinnie as it is not a regulation piece.. Number 7 is a RAD "Mutzenabzeichen" cap badge which was regulation to wear on "Kaffeebohn" or Robin Hood style cap.. G
Wow, thanks for the great responses. Definitely finding more with specific searches. Still can’t find anything on items 5 and 6 that you suggest maybe a marksmanship sort of award.
Love the pic GWAR.
It great when there’s pics supporting a answer, I tend to print the thread and pics and keep copies with the items. Such amazing knowledge.
I was concerned that some of them were fakes but in this case it’s good to be proven wrong. the veteran pins items 2 and 3 had me questioning, based on the apparent differences between the two.

G buddy!
Far be it for me to correct the RAD man but I think you have a typo. Number 8, (not 7) is the RAD Mutzenabzeichen. #7 is the drivers badge.
7 & 8 are right next to each other on the keyboard...so just a fat finger mistake I'm sure
Larry,
#2 and #3 are Nationalsozialistische Kriegsopferversorgung (NSKOV) pins. NSKOV roughly translates to "National Socialist War Victim's Care". A social welfare organization for seriously wounded veterans as well as frontline fighters of World War I. The NSKOV was established in 1934 and was affiliated to the NSDAP
