Dear Greg,

I donnot know this pin, but perhaps I can give my impression;
it is pré- nazi before 1933 , because it looks in style like the veterans-pins after ww1 period mid-20's.The wheats stand often for labour- organisation like RAD later(1935)perhaps it is a early precendent of it.RAD has also wheats in his emblems.That is my impression.

Hoffstatter in Bonn on the rear; is a familiar hall name, which I know of ww2 ss-pins.
Even after ww2 that name stands on pins ,like my European Union pin(blue square with circle yellow stars) and my worldexposition-pin Brussels 1958 . Hoffstatter went on making badges and pins after ww2.
like many other nazi-factories went on producing.
Greetings Ben Baars
