Veteran Org Stickpins?

[Brig]

These came with a few 1957 awards, wondering if they're vet groups? The tank came with a bronze PAB stickpin, and the little flag and KKS came with a dual EKII/Minesweeper stickpins

Left to right:
1. The VDS flag looks like a yachting club pin
2. The StuG could very well being worn postwar by a Sturmartillerie veteran
3. Related to fire department pin with the coat of arms of Baden-Wuerttemberg
4. The KKS pin is unknown to me

The KKS is most likely for klein kaliber schiessen,so small kaliber shooting.
A typical sport shooting pin.

It's not an organisation pin.
It is a miniature award for shooting achievements in small caliber.
As you see it is the silver variant,cause these come in bronze,silver and gold.
Any sport shooting club from any city in Germany can order these at companies like Steinhauer & Lück or Deumer .
Each year the catalogs change somewhat due to what's fashionable or in demand.
Nowadays you see more and more plastic replacing the enamel on pins like that.
I think your KKS pin is out of production for at least a few decades now .
