Tietze-
You are in the correct forum. You must understand that the
Stahlhelm organization has had very limited research done on it. There are few collectors that have knowledge in this field. Members do not all go on line to this Forum on a daily basis. I prefer not to issue educated guesses when questions are asked. To the best of my knowledge, there is no definitive place to research a members number. Look at it this way, if you have a SS dagger with a membership number on the crossguard, you will never find out who the blade belonged to unless he was an officer. I would also guess that SS material is 1000 times more collected over items from the Stahlhelm Maybe someone knows where the information is stored-if it exists at all..

Re: Der Stahlhelm
thanks for your replys, i hoped that this would provide an interesting thread for the forum which I could gain some knowledge from, and didn't want it to become lost in the depths of the forum!
My knowledge is certainly limited on this, although there is a desire in me to try and collect a complete run of these badges that ranged from 1919 to 1932 i believe. In the instance of the one I have posted the members entry date to the Stahlhelm is 9/11/25. The members district is III with his membership number being 5 512.
The Stahlhelm were seen to be an influential group I believe and certainly put their support to Hitler in the run up to the 1933 elections, where upon as you correctly say they were incorporated into the SA from July 1933.
Anyone elses input greatfully recieved, or references or photos?

Re: Der Stahlhelm
Two illustrated works from the era 1933-5 are:
Martin Bochow, Maenner unter dem Stahlhelm (Berlin/Stuttgart 1933)
NSDFB eds. Stahlhelm (Berlin, 1935)
Therein the object above is illustrated as the badge of the "old guard." The one shown therein is for the year 1919.
The Stahlhelm became the NS Deutscher Frontsoldatenbund.
I do not have a scanner and cannot furnish images from these works.
I am sure the works can be found in Gesamt Verzeichnis antiquairscher Buecher.
