Hi Doug,
it could be helpful, to see the reverse of the "Broken Rifle" (first turn around 180°)
There are different oranizations, using this symbol.
- Bund der Kriegsdienstgegner BdK in Germany, 1919 - 1933,
- War Resisters' International WRI, founded 1921 in the Netherlands, it adopted the broken rifle as its symbol in 1931,
- Internationale der Kriegsdienstgegner/innen IDK, founded 1947 in Germany.
If it is an old badge, it is expensive, see Heering-Hüsken, Katalog der Abzeichen deutscher Organisationen 1871-1945, 4th edition 1997, No. 4212 a)
I think, that "Internationale der Kriegsdienstgegner" is the wrong name in the catalogue, it must be the "Bund der Kriegsdienstgegner".
If it is a new badge, it ist very cheap (please choose the language and the region for the price):

I think, it is a new piece.

Speedytop's catalog ID
Thanks for picture out of your catalog. I looked up the group and got a little info. They were around from 1919-1933. I ordered an article from a book about them. Can't wait for it. Thanks all. If you get any more info let me know. I only have a few pre WW2 German commie pins and stuff. Sounds like they are a "fellow traveler" group to me. Some of the same people in it. Nazis crushed them out. DougAttached Files
