Sdkfz 222 Badge

[me6_130]

Hello,

Didn't know where to post this one, so here it is: a Sdkfz 222. Does anybody know this one. It looks like brass but with a silver wash. Size is like a Wound Bagde.

If anything, I would call it a tinnie.
Odd looking pin though., replaced or perhaps not German?

I've always thought it could be an unofficial insignia for a Recce unit. Pin seems original to the piece. It is very nicely made, with much detail. What other country could have made it? I believe SdKfz 222 was only used in the German Army...

The pin looks very North American

Hello there,

I doubt this was produced during the war. Maybe it is more of a commemorative piece, still interesting though.

That model of pin is quite common all around. It's an old model though. These are german sets of safety pins for verbandkasten:

The needle at an auction of Spanish military items also . Could be a badge of the Legion Còndor ?

Maybe a badge from the Winterhilfswerk?

Very nice and interesting! I have never seen such a badge before.

Hi Daniel i'dont think it's the Winterhilfswerk . not part of any known series , the catch is very rudimentary compared to those of Winterhilfswerk . All I've seen have come out in spain and with other badges and medals of spanish civil war, so I think it was something related to the Condor Legion .
Thanks
