This group contains six miniature weapon pins produced for the Winterhilfswerk (WHW) charity donation campaigns in Germany during the late 1930s to early 1940s. The set includes three distinct dagger and sword designs, alongside three variations of battleaxes and halberds. Measurements range from 1 to 2 inches long. The three sword motifs are inset with colored glass or resin cabochons in red and yellow tones to represent embedded jewels. Each cast-metal item is fitted with a functional horizontal pinback on the reverse, with several pieces displaying raised numerical mold or series markings like "0.20" and "028". All pieces show surface oxidation, white zinc tarnish, and wear consistent with their age and storage history. p
