This lot features two Imperial German commemorative pieces. The first is a die-struck, silver-finished metal badge for the Deutscher Krieger-Bund (German Veterans' Association). The crest features an Imperial crown above crossed rifles and military flags, anchored by the organization's name on a bottom scroll, and pinned to a black, white, and red horizontal ribbon strip. The second item is a home-front charity stick pin utilizing the Gold gab ich zur Wehr medallion designed by Paul Hosaeus. It depicts a kneeling woman and carries the inscription "In eiserner Zeit 1916" (misidentified in the user text), affixed to a multi-colored striped ribbon bow. Both pieces show typical handling wear, light fraying at the ribbon ends, and mild metal patination. Each one measures 2.5" wide. B
