Old Comrades Association in Brinkum members medallion or lapel badge.  It might perhaps have had a piece of coloured ribbon through the ring.

“Brinkum is a municipality in the district of Leer, in Lower Saxony, Germany.”

That´s true, but with around 300 inhabitants it was rather small - too small -? to have a Kriegerverein.

I would opt for a different Brinkum, that which is situated in the district of Syke near Bremen. Much larger then and now (10,000) than it´s name equivalent across the river Weser.

Thank you GreyC that makes much more sense.  I did not know there were two places of that name.  It’s good that you spotted this 👍

There is no guarantee, that I am correct, it´s just another option that seems slightly more plausible.

Best,

Your logic is convincing and impeccable, so I’m sure you must be right.
