Very impressive. Wish there was one for Marinehelfers also. John

I am sure there is (or at least there was) one somewhere...I suppose they also had to go on a course and pass exams to become a Marinehelferin in the first place? Cheers, Torsten.

Not Marinehelferinnen of course, but still a long the same lines...I just found the photo below among a larger lot of photos from a Blitzmaedel that I have got and it shows two Blitzmaedel with tie badges, evidently one for an ordinary Blitzmaedel and the other for a higher ranking Blitzmaedel...both worn on the tie and you can clearly see the difference in size...Cheers, Torsten.

Just thought I would add another ID tag to this thread.

Hi I've just acquired for this very cheaply so I'm not overly sure if its authentic or not (as said it was cheap and if its not original I do actually have a use for it) I note it doesn't have the blue backing behind the anchor that the other badges have, also theres two different types of pins on the brooches on this thread, does that indicate manufacture or something else ?. It is 30mm/3cm in diameter and hopefully the pictures show it ok. Thought it silly to start a new post so am resurrecting this one and appologies for the tatty toque it was the first thing to hand that wasn't too bright to get the best piccies of it on

Hi Dink, could you repost pics of the reverse setup of your broch again please? Cheers, Torsten.
