Question: Could someone that knows a ton about German WWII medals, stick pins, etc, tell me any history on these pieces!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Hi i am sorry to say that, but those are no german wwII medals, stick or pins!. And i doubt that all are german military awards anyway!.

1!. Einigkeit macht Stark = Unity is strenght!. The emblem is the emblem of the german city of Augsburg!. The emblem is still today in use http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Augsburg

The other side of the medal says: In Rememberance of the annexation!. 1st January 1911 The community of Pfersee into the city of Augsburg!.

The story behind this!? Pfersee was a own but small city before Augsburg!. But both city grew, got bigger and Pfersse got a part of Augsburg in 1911!. Which is today named Augsburg-Pfersse!.

2!. Sorry i can not say anything about!.

3!. First piece, i can not read what it says
Second piece, im sure thas a button of a german jacket!.
Third peace, i think thats also a butto, but i am not sure!. But for sure the symbol on it, is the german crown of the second german empire
Fourth Piece is a cocarde of a german hat!.
Laste one i have no clue!.

I don`t know if any are rare!. But it doesn't seems so!. Maybe the medal!. But to be honest, i wouldn`t pay for all pieces togehter more then 5 Euros!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I noticed that the one of the first medals was dated '1911' I'm not sure if this was the date the medal was issued, or if it holds some other significance!. Obviously, if it's the date it was issued, then it's definitely not a German WW2 medal!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

the "v" shaped badge looks like the rank designation for WW2 german paratroopers!. A single V should mean a corporal!. They were worn on caps

the button with a crown may not be German at all- I think the brits had similar buttons

I don't think they are rareWww@QuestionHome@Com
