Hello,
This is a very interesting original example of a typical Axis power (Imperial Japan-N.S. German)-enamel pin. Too bad the pin is broken...still very desirable! I would hang-on too it!

Hi John,

Interesting reply, do you have a reference for this i.d.?

This pin is always listed in catalogues & by dealers as a members badge for a gym club, the Reichsverband deutscher Turn Sport und Gymnastiklehrer.....

Cheers

gym club pin

Hello,yes, you are correct-now I remember seeing a thick cloth patch (multi-construction) that was from this gym/sports org.
I stand corrected.
