I posted this in another forum but realized that it might fit here also. It was identified by the late Bill Stump. Mr.Stump described it as a pin worn by a flak-commandant aboard one of the KdF ships like the "Cap Arcona" and the "Robert Ley". The pin was issued and worn only for a short time as flak guns were placed on the KdF ships just after the war broke out. The ships members of the KdF ships were merchant-navy that got a training course in handling the flak guns and the pin is the sign of qualification. As the ships soon became troop-carriers the merchant navy were replaced by a Kriegsmarine crew.
I have never seen another and I cannot imagine that many were ever produced!
