    Another metal edelweiss question

    Came across the recent threads on these and it prompted me in to digging these out for opinions. cannot find any others listed like these.
    First one i think is aluminium and marked with the RZM and M1/159. Measures 2 inches.
    The second two are pin backs. my opinion on these is that they are probably post war.
    Would appreciate your views
    thanks

          Greetings,

          The first edelweiss appears to be part of a cap badge from the Steirischer Heimatbund(Styrian Home League) It was mounted on a pinkish-red rhomboid shaped patch worn on a SA style field cap. I saw this in "Cloth insignia of the NSDAP and SA"pages 326-327 by John Angolia.

          This isn't my area of interest but I recognized it from looing through the book yesterday. I really like the stick pins also!!

            will dig my NSDAP book out and have a look. Has anyone any ideas as to the two stick pins?
