    I just got these - Can you help?

    I received these pins and badges, along with an armband, gold mothers cross and mauser pouch from an elderly gentleman. When he knew I enjoyed collecting German militaria, he gave these to me. I had purchased his K98. Can anyone tell me what these are and if they have any value? I really only collect paper and cloth items. I have included a US quarter for reference.

    Thanks for the help.

            It rejects my attachments because of the size every time. How can I change the size?

              It can be frustrating but I've sent a message that should make things much easier...

              Good luck!

                    The oak leaf stickpins with target and without are for competing in paramilitary style competitions like shooting, the swastika pin with sword & head of wheat is State food supply office, the s/p with maidens head is most likely for the VDA an org. that looked after German folk living outside of Germany. The ribbon bar is for a ww1 iron cross, the DT pin is for the Deutsche Turnerschaft (gymnastics), the DRL badge is for the German National Physical Training Union and the medal on the blue ribbon is an Armed Forces Long Service Award is one appears to be one for 4 years.

                      I especially like the Blut und Boden pin....I did not know they had a membership badge and I have never seen one of those. Is the reverse marked at all? Could you post a pic of the reverse? Cheers, Torsten.

                        Tell me which one it is and I'll post pics of the reverse. Like I said, these badges are not my strong point.

                            oops, sorry...yes, that is the one. Blut und Boden was basically the Nazi Farmers organisation and what you have there looks like it would be a membership pin...would still love to see a close up of the reverse. Cheers, Torsten.

                              It says GES. CESCH. on one side and DESCHI ER J.S. above MUNCH.

                              I tried to take pictures but they came out poorly. I'll try wifey's camera later.

                              What do those markings mean?
