Help me pick a HAGO stick pin...

[Hummel]

Hello everyone,

I am in the market for a HAGO stick pin and have a few options. My question is which one should I go for? I will post the four options and see which one you think I should choose. They are in pairs, so picture 1 and 2 are front and back of pin "A" pics 3 and 4 are front and back of pin "B", pics 5 and 6 are pin "C" and pictures 7 and 8 are from pin "D". All are $45.00 each a except pin "D" with the RZM mark, it is $75.00. So are all original to the period and which would you suggest acquiring?

Thanks,
Hummel

Thank you for your suggestion Harryamb2. I do like the RZM on it, I am just trying to decide if I want to spend the extra $30 on it at this point...

Personally, I like pins B and D. I would probably go for the cheaper one.

I am not certain that Hago items fell under the control of the RZM.

If I remember correctly, the NSHAGO was absorbed into the DAF in 1935, so I think that the transitional markings would be correct for that date. I don't know whether or not the pin is real, however, or if these were made with RZM markings. In my opinion, it's a real one. That is an interesting point!

Agreed. However, I believe that when the Hago was absorbed into the DAF, the use of the winged hammer insignia was no longer used.
