Chris knew exactly what they were, and I was wrong to plump for the Italian angle - it was a doughboy's large-pack, but right about the badge pin (phew!) . . .
. . . and the most remarkable thing about this is it's similarity in material and execution to the WHW (Wintershilfswerk) stuff the enemy had been churning out for the previous eight or so years! Presumably the show moved around, so they may not be that rare, but a blank (as the other day's must be) is less common, and the purpose . . . precisely the same as a KHW (Kriegshilfswerk) token!
It throws new light on a whole box of those identical Bell composition figures too . . . ?
