here are the rest,,,thanks once again
Hi Robert !
Very nice little collection !
Most of the tags on them seem to be correct as to what the actually are, except for the ones
marked as being 'Factory Worker' pins. These would really have to be researched, because
if that is really what they are, then I feel they would be the most valuable. Personally, I think
they are just 'Supporters' pins.............
( I've got a swastika within a gear ( DAF = 'Deutscher Arbeits Front' = German Labour Front
- Nothing to do with Flak or Luftwaffe ! ! ) the same size, but it's a pin-back - I don't believe
this is a 'Workers' pin. ) The Lufthansa pin and the Mercedes pin may of course be more
modern as we know the companies still exist. ( I used to have a nice Mercedes pin. )
Usually but not exclusively, German stickpins have a 'twist' in the center of the pin.
The rest look good and seem to be early 30's period pieces or earlier.
Hope I've been of some assistance to you ! ! !
Regards, Steve.

A nice haul with many different associations represented. I know nothing about stickpins but a couple of observations, the German/Soviet friendship is post war judging by the German Bundesflagge which was established in 1949 I believe.
The German Imperial enamelled stickpin is most likely Belgian as it has that countries flag upon it, not the Imperial German flag.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
Very nice collection. The one you have labeled L.V.W.R.D.Z. I think is from
Stuttgart. Take a look at a Porsche Crest. Besides collecting military items I own a Porsche 356 and love early Porsche history. That one is my favorite.
The one marked as 'german aircraft factory worke'r is for a Dornier aircraft company man, I don't think in a worker but more in a staff member or so, not necessary WW2 one as the company still exists:
