Stick Pin Collection

The NS Raven stickpins, I believe, were for party members and are quite scarce and numbered. I have seen unnumbered ones, but I'm not sure they were period produced. The Tapper og Tro medal originally had the date '1941' on the front but was never distributed since it was decided that only German awards would be used. in 1944 the medal was reinstated for civilian awards since there was a large stock of them, and Raven devices were soldered over the 1941 date. It's not unusual for the ravens to be found loose...and they may have been turned into stickpins, as well, but I'm not sure if that was a period thing or done by some faker later...there is at least one notorious seller churning out Nasjonal Samling fantasy pieces

The Tapper og Tro medals can be seen here... Norway 1939-45

I just received these two TK stickpins, one is a Prussian style Tk with a straight stickpin and the other is possibly a Freikorps Tk with a knurled pin. The Freikorps pin is so small yet highly detailed. Enjoy the photo's.

I have to admit I had to look that one up. I assumed it was bone related humor but I had no idea to what extent. Thanks for the chuckle.

My latest addition to the stickpin collection that I have been neglecting lately due to my obsession with skulls. An NSDAP 12mm Party badge and 10mm Sympathizer stick pins.
