Wartburg-Stadt Eisenach pin

[SP3]

Found tinnies under the same search phrase on the net (but nothing here) but nothing about this one. Help (and more to correct place) please.

Could this be a button instead of a pin? Has a shank like what is found on buttons. What is the diameter of this item? One would have to put a hole in the coat or jacket for the loop to pass through so a ring or clip attached to hold it on

I thought/think it might be. But, it being part of a lot of stuff belonging to a WWII vet and, me not having a clue about all of this kind of thing, I thought I'd pick your collective knowledge.

It could be a button from some religious group, looks like a halo behind the head of the figure

Hi,

I think, that it is a quite normal touristic pin of Eisenach/Wartburg.

Agree on the coat of arms. but, I don't think there were any thoughts of 'tourism' on the part of the GI deployed during WWII. stranger things have happened though and he is long deceased so I can't ask him.
