pin with wolfsangel

[Mirjam Visser]

Hello all,

I have a pin with wolfsangel, green with gold lettering, but I cannot find from which organization it is from. Can any of you help?

Hi Mirjam,

I don't believe that signifies a wolfsangle, rather the letter "Z".

Thanks anyway!

Dear Mirjam,

This is a customs border security pin. The germans used it from 1937 up to 1945.
