Unusual Pin & Keepers

[Don Scowen]

Gentlemen,

You may recall my thread a few weeks back where I was enquiring about the originality of a particular pin type on my new Nun Erst Recht badge (examples below & thread here http://www.wehrmacht-awards.net/foru...d.php?t=101695 )

Since then I have been trying to find examples of badges with these pins & keepers, as I have noticed that more often than not, they come together & usually on unmarked badges. This has led me to wonder if they are an indication of a single manufacturer.

Please could you post images of any badges in your collections that

A) Have this compination of elongated oval keeper & odd style pin
B) Just have this exact style keeper, or
C) Just have this type pin

I would be very grateful for any help with this theory.

Cheers
Don

Don,
Here are two with the same pin style but one has a round attach plate, but as you can see thay both are maker marked.

And here's one with just the pin without any attach plate.
