DAF Stickpin

[Tony C]

Hi, can anyone out there post a picture of their DAF stickpin, I can't yet. Have a DAF Stickpin marked "43" with the RZM logo, did these exist?

Mine has a little attachment that fits on the pointy bit to protect the wearer, simply pulls off, what should these look like if they are even genuine?

Thanks in advance, Tony.

Tony, Is this the type of stickpin you have? This one is marked M1/14 for Matth. Oescbsler & Sohn, Ansbach.

Hi Tony,
Here's one that I have. Marked "72" with the RZM logo.
Hard to see in the picture.

There was a brief period between the RZM issuing the first manufacturer numbers in March 1935 and the introduction of "M" prefixes a few months later. DAF stickpins are often found with just the RZM mark and a number, and they are from this transitional period.

Usually you only find the sliding ball clasp on Golden DAF Honor stickpins, so it might be a home addition by the member who got tired of being stabbed.

Excellent

Thanks for all the help, yes, those both look like my new addition. Was worried that no normal RZM makers mark meant it was a bit of a worry, but now it all seems ok. Appreciate the rapid replys, Tony.

Value ????

One last question, what is the current market value of this little pin, I paid
NZ $7.00, about 3.50 Euros, is this a "steal"?

[James Noble]

Definitely a steel at that price specially as you said it came with the point protector.

Thanks Jack for posting this picture, nice to see something of mine up for discussion, gives me an even better reason to hurry up and pay my fees.
This site is fantastic, great to get a bunch of like minded people together who help each other out like this. Can't wait to get some of my other items & SS photos up for discussion.
One last thing, is the point protector genuine or something added much later on?

Cheers........Tony

Tony,
I can't say if this protector is original to your pin but they did come with them, as you can imagine a very easily lost item.

Apologies

Sorry James, called you Jack in that thread above.
