My husband, the coin dealer, has all his coin dealer buddies on the look-out for German Shepherd Dog memorabilia for me. The other day, someone came across a pin with a lovely GSD head, with holly and a red ribbon (Christmas) around the head with the initials HPDS on the ribbon. This isn't a piece of jewelery with any great value, it kindof looks like a pin that maybe everyone got at a Christmas Party, but I am curious as to where it came from and what those initials could stand for. Any ideas ???? Iza Kabuska http://www.karizmashepherds.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
