WW2 German WW1 veterans breast eagle pin

[PBaczuk]

I found this weird pin yesterday. It is a breast eagle pin for the veterans movement during the third reich.

I like that one better !!

[Reichskriegerbund]

Both eagles are not for the same Organisation!
The one from PBaczuk is a Reichskriegerbund-Eagle, facing to the right and having short swords. The one from SADolch is a Soldatenbund-Eagle, facing to the left and having Long swords. And there is a third one, facing to the left, having an anchor added and in golden colours. This one is for the veterans of Deutscher Marinebund.
Reichskriegerbund and Soldatenbund are two different organisations

Also, we have covered this before. See:

Why the difference in eagles?
