Re: Kampfzeit, part 2
These are all great. I really like the WW1 tank shaped badge.
Nice story about finding the broken rifle badge.
Cheers, Ade.

Thanks, the Huesken catalogue has the large oval broach illustrated and identified. Unfortunately, I don't have a copy and I've forgotten the exact name of the group. Obviously, it's an anti-war organization of some sort affiliated with the left and probably KPD related.

Rare, rare, rare & rare (and underappreciated). You have a phenomenal collection, pjm--thanks for posting them.

Re: Kampfzeit, part 2
Very nice collection, they are very rare and expensive even in Germany.
What is the difference is H&C instead of swastika

Re: Kampfzeit, part 2
Thanks. Collecting this material, over the past 20 years, has been a matter of coincidently being in the right place at the right time and knowing what I was looking at...
Perhaps the best piece I have is the large bronze flag pole top I use as my avatar. It came from a once popular US militaria auction house in the late 1980's. Not surprisingly, I was the only bidder.
I once bought a few Red tinnies at a Madison, Wisconsin militaria show from the vendor who had the usual array of Nazi items. When I bought them the man said "those were the really bad guys."
It's a strange coincidence that the largest grouping of communist material was later acquired at another Madison show several years later.

Re: Kampfzeit, part 2
Just for info: the oval women's broach is from the INTERNATIONALE DER KRIEGSDIENSTGEGNER (Conscientious Objectors International or International of War Resisters). Founded in 1921 from the Bund der Kriegsdienstgegner (1919).
