Looks fine to me. Could have easily been awarded an ISM early in ERII reign. I am suprised there is no further Home service in WW2 (Defence Medal) , but he may have been unfit for service through his previous War service (or too old) and been a postman etc which accounts for the ISM.

These flying day badges are getting more expensive

An unusual colour this one:

Another favourite

Just to get the ball rolling. My personal favourite day badge.

As part of the ongoing projects being considered here at GMIC I would like to start to create a tinnie database. Tinnies are still a relatively cheap collecting item and are something which I have been steadily collecting over the years.

However as we all realise there are thousands of variants and cataloguing or collecting them all is next to an impossible task. Tieste has probably come as close as anyone has been able to creating a comprehensive catalogue but I have at times found even his great work lacking.

To that end I will lay down a challenge and ask that within this thread we start posting pictures and information on tinnies. Please post here with the understanding that at some point in the near future I will start to collate the information and photos and put it into a catalogue format that will be available to all members.

Sorry to those of you that have already posted in another thread but as this is for a project I thought it best to highlight requirements first.

All tinnies, day badges, WHW, Police & Wehrmacht Badges etc are welcome.

Are you up to the challenge..........

in my humble opinion, these RAD- Long service devices ARE RARE

I quite agree, a lovely ribbon bar, I would like the mounted group to go with it.

I prefer to use the word scarce........

... and why is HE buying REAL bars??? What does he do with them??

Cheers for the info. Ill have to se if I can get to do a visit this time.

Its a shame the Zoo Flak tower has gone as this is the most significant one in my mind.

If you can't knock it down build around it.

A couple of air raid shelters I found in Berlin a couple of years ago.

I am off to Vienna this month, where is the flaktower situated ?
