i would postulate something of a religious significance...i know the protestant affiliation with the nazis had similiar shield based pins with the cross in the background like these....they are nice and i would assume pretty uncommon...

My guess is something related to an NS group in East Prussia - the old Teutonic area ruled by the Teutonic Knights, who used a black cross on a white shield.
