Hello Jannis. I half to say I m not convinced it's military. To me it looks too delicate in construction. I'd guess it's of the period, 30's 40's art deco brooch. Any makers marks on it? JMO perhaps others may recognise it as military, but I think jewelery. Best regards.

It is symbol as used by a youth-organization:
Der Orden der Nordungen e.V.
The abbreviation e.V. is eingetragener Verein (registered union).
The three F's possibly are from a motto from the 14th century: frisch, fro, frey
This is what is said about them in the "Deutscher Jungenkalender",
the yearbook for the youth in Germany, published in 1931.
Excellent information as usual Wim! Thanks for the correction. So a youth workers/laborers union? Kindest regards.
Brian
No, not youth workers, but a close union for youth
in their recreation (a youth group like the HJ).
The text posted by Wim describes the Nordungen as "a tightly-knit action group for the Nordic interests in all aspects of life". Founded in 1924, this was a neo-Germanic/neo-Paganistic youth association that upheld ancient Germanic beliefs, customs and culture, complete with Shamanistic rituals and whatnot.by bsiwula1
Thanks for the clarification Wim and HPL! As usual a wealth of information! I learned something new yet again. Best regards.

Thanks to all for a very quick response and for the excellent informations.

You learn something new every day. Never seen one of these before, nice addition to your collection.
I would have easily thought Art-Deco civilian.
It's great we have such a wealth of knowledgeable members here who never cease to amaze me.
As always thanks Mr Saris and HPL for the detective work.
