I`ve never seen one like this before. Thought it was kinda cool. It is stamped with the 800 silver mark on the back.

Certianly interesting, but unless this came in an "unquestionable" vet. lot, I also believe there's a 85% chance this is a "fantasy" pin created from "peices and parts", with "new" engravings, etc......to dupe us as collectors....however, that said...because of the "15%" chance....I'd give it display space ......
The pin is obviously related to "Bowling" (or whatever that European game they play "everywhere" is called)....but the swastika seems crude and contrived....and the engraving & date completely untypical for period pins...IMO
Without a "referance", "unquestional provenance", "documentation", or "a photo of one in wear".....I'd only give it a "slim chance" at best..
Just another opinion....

I still like it...seems like a lot of work there to make a $20.00 fake. I'd have it in my collection.Comment

That is why I think it is period.Comment

The top part looks like the protective cap that screws on to the base of some stickpins. I wouldn't make any link to bowling more likely a Christmas bauble afterall we are talking Winter Hilfe.Comment

I agree...I don't think it has to do with bowling either. It does look like a bowling pin...but I don't think that is very likely.
