I don't know if this the right forum but I haven't been able to find out anything on this pin. Marked ED SCHERM NURNBERG. Is it German or post WW2 U.S. made in Germany? Thank you

An attractive piece; the cloisonne work is reminiscent of the quality of early NSDAP members' badges. The symbol seems to me to be associated with the Papal Crest, though without the Tiara surmounting it -- the Crossed Keys is an established symbol for Saint Peter and was adopted by the Roman Catholic Church early on, symbolizing the succession of the heirs of Saint Peter as Bishops of Rome. According to what I could find from a quick search of the internet, Ed. Scherm was a badge-producing firm in Nuremberg which operated in the 1920s and '30s, which would date this piece to that period...probably pre-1933 IMO. I have no clue as to the meaning of the initials -- assumedly "TRWC" or some other combination of the letters -- would indicate a defined group organized for some purpose within the RC Church, but I have no idea what that would be. I hope this is of help to you!
