This grouping consists of eight molded plastic Winterhilfswerk (WHW) donation pins from the Ostmark municipal heraldry series issued following the 1938 annexation of Austria. Each badge features an oval frame surrounding a raised city coat of arms with the city name molded below. The assortment includes six LINZ examples in yellow, gray, and white plastic, along with two red GRAZ examples. One LINZ badge retains a fragment of its original hanging string, while the others display the typical molded construction used for WHW fundraising distributions. The badges exhibit light handling wear, scattered surface scratches, and minor age-related discoloration consistent with age and storage. These measure 1 1/4" in height. OT
