Gesch (German abbreviation that stands for "gesetzlich geschützt," which translates to "legally protected" in English. It indicates that a particular product, design, or name is registered with a German government authority, similar to a trademark. The term is commonly found on vintage German products, particularly jewellery, as a mark of their legal protection. The DRKB, Deutscher Reichskriegerbund (KyffhÃuserbund), (German National Association of Veterans, KyffhÃuser Association), was formed during WWI, and was based on the DKB, Deutscher Kriegerbund (German Veterans Association), originally formed after the war of 1870-71. The addition of "KyffhÃuser" in the associations name referred to the KyffhÃuser Mountain where a large war memorial had been erected. The goal of the association was to preserve the morale and comradeship of former soldiers and to financially assist its members if required. On March 29TH 1938 the DRKB was renamed NS-RKB, Nationalsozialistische-Reichskriegerbund, (National Socialist-State Soldiers League), by the NSDAP and amalgamated with most of the earlier veterans associations into one national organisation. Uniform and headgear regulations of the DRKB/NS-RKB were introduced prior to 1933 and were modified again in 1936 and 1938. The 1938 uniform modifications introduced a new pattern national eagle for wear on the breast and the visor cap. There are three variants of this badge: Silver coloured eagle with short swords for the veterans (NSRKB)-Silver coloured eagle with long swords for the Soldatenbund - Golden coloured eagle with long sword for the NS-Marinebund.
