Submarine stick pin? Any ideas? I have never seen one before. Of course I have not been collecting very long.

I just noticed the tinnie has SA and SS on it. The camera magnification is a lot better than my eyesight. I like this tinnie a lot because of the drooping wings.

I was worried about this one a little bit. It looks brand new.

submarine pin

Your submarine pin is really a Germany-Italy unity pin. I like the eagle tinnie too

Yes, what looks like a submarine is in fact the Italian Fascist symbol "the fasces" (well I think it is an ancient Roman thing re-used by Mussolini's party)

axe

It's actually a bunch of sticks with an axe in the middle. It was carried by Roman Armies as a sign of peace......?????????

Not an army symbol. But the symbol of the roman kings and other high ranking officials life guard (predecessors of the Praetorian Guard) ==>
