Reichsbanner Pin- Is this Rare?

[Chris Lee]

I just got this pin and only know a limited history of what it is. Can anyone tell me if this is a rare pin and what kind of value it might have?

[Don Scowen]

It's a membership badge for the "Reichsbanner Scwharz-Rot-Gold, Bunde deutscher Kriegsteilnehmer und Republikaner". One of the veteran political groups I believe.

I wouldn't say rare but scarce, especially if the case is original to the piece.

Cheers
Don

Thanks Don. Unfortunately the case is what it was shipped in, a simple plastic case.

Hi Chris, how much did you pay for it? Would that not be the value? Cheers, Torsten.

It is Reichsbanner, but a cap cockade with added pin. It is the second pattern, first design had only an eagle without lettering.

Here is the first pattern of the cap cockade and a membership badge.
