Hello to all,
this is another little item that I also received at the same time as the NSKK button (see my other post). It is about 7/8 of an inch across and is dark grey in color. Once again the front appears to be aluminum with a steel backing and a brass "eye" loop. The front has a pebbled surface with a braided edge border. Upon this is the familiar German helmet with DER STAHLHELM written on it. The back has GES. GESCH. in the center, surrounded by the words WIRTSCH: ABT. D. BUNDESLEITUNG.
It is in very good shape with minor oxidation to the steel backing. Does anyone have any info on this item? I assume that it was used on a uniform for this ex-service mens' association. Would there have been a complete set of these or was this just an item bought to show support for this organization and worn alone as such?
Thanks for the help, regards,
Eric.
