Today's offerings by Carsten Baldes includes a fine example of an SS Stickpin by Hoffstätter, bearing a five-digit number stamped to the pin's reverse which is described as the "owner's number." A number of years ago I was discussing this number with my friend John Pearson, who collects SS stickpins, and John's opinion was that the number on the reverse was the issue control number, not the person’s membership number. Does anyone here have any further thoughts on this question?
