What are they?

[Garth Thompson]

Here are three 2 1/2" x 2" oval insignias maybe you imperial guys can help identify. They look to be ReichMarine or merchant navy related.

The top one appears to be a local variant for the Deutscher Flottenverein. The one with the seagull was for the Deutscher Hochseesportverband "Hansa." I believe the one with the flag was for a naval veteran's organization but I can't seem to find the reference on it right now.

Verein Insignia

Garth,

I thought I would also mention that these are most likely cap insignia.

I'm not proud I'll show my ignorance, what is the Deutscher Flottenverein?

Flottenverein

Garth,

You may not be proud or smart, but you sure are funny!

Flottenverein = literally "fleet association". that is navy veterans.
