Writer's pin and some other items

[Military Trader]

Is this writing pin a tinnie or an organizational pin? Also I picked up a nice party badge among other things. Also, is the DAF pin an organizational pin?

A couple of common tinnies I picked up also today.

This is a membership badge for the Stenographer's Union.

The party badge made by Otto Schickle looks like an original transistional piece to me.

Thanks -- there are so many variations of the party pins it's confusing.

The DAF pin would be for for a female member, but they should be enameled. Generally they are die-struck copper or later zinc and plated silver. This looks like a crude cast copy in pot metal without the black enamel. Do you have a reverse shot?

This pin came with 2 others (in a little better shape) from a newspaper buy my friend used to do.

If real, the only possibility is that it could be a late war painted version that is either unfinished or very corroded so that no paint is left (which would be unusual). I have a painted version and it is a light pot metal, but the paint is pretty firmly stuck to it.
