Lehrwart bevo cloth and swaz pins

[david carlson]

A friend of my father's gave this to me. It was mailed home in 1945 by a GI (I have the original envelope as well). 4 bevo emblems and two political buttons. I take it "Lehrwart" was an instructor of some sort. Any idea what organization this might be?

By the way, the pins are marked "M1 34" and "RZM" in a circle on the back.

Thanks for any help on ID or value you can give.

The bevo cloth insignias are for the N.S.R.L. (National Socialist Physical Training League. Are both of the NSDAP membership badges the painted version? M1/34 is the maker Karl Wurster.

James: Exactly the response I was looking for. Thank you so much.

Oh, and yes,the badges are both painted.

Nice items you have there, it gives something extra knowing the story behind it.

What I find most interesting is the firm of BeVo had more than one location. We are all familiar with the BeVo concern in Wuppertal, but I was never aware there was another branch in Barmen. I would love to have one just to document a 2nd location for the firma BeVo.

Barmen is a district of Wuppertal.
