thought id post a pic for interest, a mate just brought this back from a market in Belgium, bit of a story behind it. apparently they where worn by the workers in the late 30's .. any one seen one of these before? any comments?..

the guy at the market said,' put in your pocket and dont pull it out till you get home'.... wonder why?..

yeah got one myself... but mines a repo which was made back in about 1990, good copies

Origionals good for a few bucks.

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

the origionals were cast in Puter metal, so there light, and the attach pin was crimmped on.

the repros from the ninties where cast in a similar metal as well.

The one you have pictured looks like its been stamp from sheet metal ??? only guessing

theres an artical in VW Trends April 1991
