I have noticed Stahlhelm member badges were produced in both alpaka and in silver versions. Were both versions available for each and every year (1918 - 1932) or were there years which were exclusively silver or alpaka? I would imagine silver was a valuable commodity in the lean years of hyper-inflation and alpaka badges would be the most common during those times. As times got better, silver became more affordable and one would almost thing the latter badges would then be most commonly found in silver. If anyone can post badges, it would be nice to see how complete a run we can assemble for all the years in both silver and alpaka.
