    unidentified pins

    These pins were all in a box owned by the daughter of the veteran who brought them home from WWII. Can anyone identify them? The one on the far left appears to be some sort of fraternal pin...perhaps Masonic.

      Third from the left is a DRL sports pin & the fourth is thought to be a Lebensborn pin, however as far as I know it's not yet been confirmed.

      Cheers

        Thank you for your reply Don. Hopefully someone else will recognize something here.

          I believe Don is right on the 4th pin being for Lebensborn. It has the Leben rune incorporated under the roof of the house. Never seen a pin like that. Mind if I drool?

            Carson, thanks for the second opinion on the pin which both you and Don believe is Lebensborn.
            Does anyone know which cap eagle this is on the right-hand side, and if the very small eagle to the left is German?
            Thanks.

              Hi Don,

              I'd say the gold eagle on the right is Kriegsmarine for the Donald Duck cap. The silver pin second from the left looks to me like a North American 32nd degree Mason pin, except it's one instead of two-headed.

                Thanks Stephen. You may be correct about the pin for the Donald Duck Kreigsmarine cap. As far as I know, the 32nd Degree Masonic eagle always has the two heads of the Holy Roman Empire eagle, but I agree it is very similar in shape.

                  Can you get a closer shot? I assume there are no markings.

                    I no longer have the pins. They belong to a friend whose father brought them home from Germany at the end of WWII. I am just trying to help with identification. The ONLY pin that has ANY marking is the DRL sports pin.
