Made a interesting bulk purchase today with these strange tinnies and stickpins, one rampant lion pin, nicely struck with NEDERLAND at bottom, yellow and black flags may be faded from other colors. all help appreciated.

The first tiny is a VDA item: "Verein f******252;r Deutschtum im Ausland" = its an association for the German culture in foreign countries.

I think #1,3,4 on the second raw are only patriotic pins from Imperial Germany ww1.
