This grouping consists of six civic, trade, and organizational lapel stickpins dating from the Imperial through the Third Reich eras. The collection features a "Deutscher Fleischer Verband 1875" butcher's guild pin with blue and white enamel and a gold-toned finish; a circular "Reichsbahn Turn & Sportverein Duisburg-Ruhrort" railway sports club pin with a green textured enamel center; a shield-shaped "Eintracht Rheinböllen 1886" club pin; and a multi-colored enameled "K. Chor St. Gereon" (inscribed rather than St. Cacilien) choir pin featuring a lyre motif. Rounding out the group are two small grey metal pins, including a round WWI-era miniature Wound Badge with a central helmet and crossed swords backdrop (displaying a tiny swastika hand-scratched or lightly etched on the helmet face), and a wreathed rifle marksmanship or military association pin. Overall lengths range from 1.8 to 2.0 inches. Condition issues include surface oxidation on the raw metal pins, minor enamel cracking, light tarnish to the gold plating, and one bent knurled pin. B
