This are supposed to be pretty rare. But, I can't find anyone who can put a value on them.

In the Huesken Catalogue 1999 is the value 300 DM (~ 150 Euro)

Cool. I have never seen these blue ones before. How come they are not on your site? Or, did I just miss them completely?

Do you think the British pins are a fantasy based on these blue American ones?

If you would like to put my red America pin on your site, I would be honored.

It seems these America friendship pins have a very unusual pin configuration for the time.

If they are the same as those posted by Alex.K and M.Pinkus it`s not worth the time, as they are easy to spot fakes.

I thought the C.T.D. Ges. Gesch ones are considered authentic ? Or are there any information i missed ?

[Richard]

C.T.D. initials are also common on the enameled nurse's badges considered reproduction. I've asked the question before, but never have received an answer, if C.T.D. was actually a known pre 1945 producer of any type of badges. Jo, do you have any information on this? I do notice that the C.T.D. mark is different on the badge starting this thread vs. those posted by Mike.

Well the pin alone, on the one marked CTD ges. gesch. tells me its a fake. The other two I leave to Joe.
