Hello,

I bought a nice pin last week. Just have no idea what. Put it in the catalog nicely :-)

Anyone? and possibly the value
Red cross in white - Unknown - LastDodo

Best regards
Jeroen

Looks like a Templar or Crusader shield, but has some sort of plant growing over it, if I'm seeing it correctly.

Or some kind of bird (pigeon?) with palm branch.
Certainly not from the Red Cross. There the legs are straight. These are wavy.
But perhaps symbolically an interface with a Christian organization ...

It is indeed a bird with a palm branch Raoul. (and I saw a crusader shield in it too)

We still need an expert on heraldry.

The value is – for the time being – what you paid (or would have liked to pay for it).

thanks everyone. The Workers' Youth... nice pin (in my opinion). This variant is not yet online - now it is. The bird has been colored in.

More than just a pretty pin. At first I was thinking in the direction of the KWB, but now it turns out to be another part of the ACW:  the KAJ.
Not a pigeon with a palm branch, but an ear of corn. Fruit of the field, sown on the good ground (and not on the rock). There is history and background to it.

I hadn't looked into it yet, but it's different than I thought. There is a difference between the Flemish and the Dutch movement.
The plastic and aluminum/tin pins are undoubtedly Dutch, but the (older) enamel pins are probably Flemish?
Does anyone know if these insignia were used on both sides of the border?
There are – as usual – many variants with minor differences, so watch out

Maybe you could read how this site works first?!
There are several useful links at the bottom of each page.

How does it work?
