Heer Flak Stick Pin

Product Description:  A Heer Flak Stick Pin, executed in zinc, retaining a pleasing amount of its original bronze finish, lending the piece strong visual definition and period character. The pin and fastening remain intact and secure, with no noted structural issues.

An increasingly hard-to-find example, this stick pin is representative of personal wear insignia and is offered in attractive, honest condition, making it a desirable addition to a focused Third Reich insignia collection.

Historical Description: In Germany, during and between the World Wars, stickpins were generally made for wear on civilian clothing, by either men or women. Whereas most civil and military awards intended for uniform wear were in the form of medals or pin-on badges, the simple stickpins were mostly for adorning lapels of suits. A huge variety of these stickpins were produced. There were pins that anyone could buy, that were patriotic or showed support for some specific cause. There were also various membership pins for military, paramilitary, civil and political organizations. Military and civil awards were also produced in stickpin versions. These took the form of miniature versions of the awards, and could either show one individual award, or all of the awards that one individual had received. In many cases, German stickpins were made with the same standard of quality as the full-size medals and badges.
