      Hi Chris, they are cap badges...the NSKOV ones are fairly common but the Gau Thueringen one is something special in my opinion...Cheers, Torsten.

        I would say the Gau Thueringen badge was originally a Day badge which is the only way I have ever seen them before, this one has been converted into a hat badge due to what appears to be very sloppy soldering of the prongs.

          I would concur with James, the Gau Thuringen Badge was only produced as a pinback day badge. Someone has added the prongs at a later date and can see the discoloration on the obverse of the badge on the wings caused by the soldering.. The badge is still original but it has been altered.
