Preussen stickpin

I found this pin at the Nashville show this weekend. I do not know the first word and is the date significant? Any information is appreciated. Thanks. Mike

I do not know the first word .....

It is: Abstimmung

[Brian L.]

Abstimmung = referendum

The pin is for the referendum to stay in Germany or join Poland. Similar pins existed for Oberschlesien and for the Ruhr (Germany or France in that case), as well.
