OdR stickpin..............

[Steve 5]

Gentlmen, an OdR "Ordensgemeinschaft der Ritterkreuzträger" (Knights Cross holders association) membership stickpin has come my way, this is probably a little newer than my other one (older one shown on the right) , a crisper, cleaner look to it. 4.5cm in length.
These are only ever awarded to Knights Cross winners or those who have been invited and personally recommended to be members by at least two Ritterkreuztrager and as such are very coveted , they rarely come onto the open market........
Prost ! Steve.

A beautiful RK and Oaks as well. A very special item to have in the collection.

Yes Steve these are very hard to find. I was awarded mine by the OdR in 1980. It remains the most coveted honor in my entire collection ! It was awarded to me by RKT Artur Becker-Neetz and RKTw/Oaks Bodo Spranz. Tom

Very nice pin Steve!! Such a small item, but means so much!!!
Do we know the maker(s) of these!!
Looks really good in your display alongside the RK!!!!

Nigel, I have started an OdR thread, in which the maker of a stickpin is shown, it is my belief the contract went to St u L .......the thread in question is a joint venture from myself and Nick "Mustangstje".
Prost ! Steve.
