I must admit it's kinda cool..... Did you buy it? What was the dealer asking for it? Cheers Don

Me either....... I suspect that it could be modern, especially with the subdued Swastika around the outside of the wolfsangle. Cheers Don

Hi William, It's difficult to see the mark on my screen, is it A.TH like the one in post 15 & 16? If so, it's a possibility that the mark was for A. Tham, Gablonz a.N. but that's only speculation at this time. Cheers Don

From what I understand, these were generic medals produced by various manufacturers (the catalogues show hundreds of designs). The shooting clubs etc just selected which design they wished to use for any particular shoot. As to the ribbon, all of the Third Reich era shooting ribbons I've seen have been green & white. It's just an unfortunate coincidence that the one shown above happens to have come from the same area that used the green/white colours. Cheers Don

Just realised that I have one of these in the few tinnies that I own REICHSVERBAND PFORZHEIM 32

Hi Pete, Thanks for the update. Sorry that you didn't get any response here, I would have if I knew the answer, but as you know I'm not good with tinnies Thanks for your continuing support Cheers Don

Thank you Gentlemen, I've also added the SA Reserve II. If you have any with a different maker please add them. Cheers Don

Found it!

Indeed Lorenzo is correct, it is German. These were made during the mid 1920's to show opposition to the Dawes Plan named after Charles Dawes who chaired a committee, to decide on how to collect the reparations from Germany. It failed & a few years later the Young plan took it's place. As expected pins were produced to oppose that as well (I have one somewhere, if I can find it I'll post it). The reverse should be marked to the NSDAP. Cheers Don

Hi Pete, I've finally got around to moving the requested posts to the correct thread, sorry for the delay, still catching up Thanks for your continuing support, you have a wonderful collection Cheers Don

Sorry for my late reply Troy, I don't come into the tinnie section so much & have been working on the Organisational area. Start a new thread is probably best if you have several Tag der Wehrmacht tinnies to show. I've also added your May Day tinnies to the database list above, thanks for your support of the forum & I'll try to pop into the tinnie section more often Cheers Don

Thank you again Gentlemen, it's much appreciated. I've finally had time to go through the posts & add the new Hüsken catalogue numbers, HH now refers to the 1997 edition & Hü to the new 2010 edition. I've also replaced the special characters that had been lost so we now have ü & ä etc again. Cheers Don

Hi debbi082009 (sorry I do not know your name ). Thank you for the extra information that you have supplied, this is very interesting & helpful. Cheers Don

Excellent! Glad to read that you found the answer, some of these obscure organisations can be a real pain. Cheers Don

Maybe Bund Deutscher Kriegsbeschädigter? The pictures of a couple of the badges from this organisation are not very clear in the new Hüsken, but they are clearer in the previous edition #5702 page 91. They aren't the same but do use the BDK in the arms of the EK like yours. Sorry I can't be of better help. Cheers Don

A great thread Gentlemen. I've been looking at the 1933 RPT badge he's wearing in the last picture. It's a lot brighter compared to the "München" badge below it which is usually the same colour, I wonder whether the RPT is the silver version or whether it has been polished to a bright shine? Cheers Don

Thank you for your support Gentlemen. I have some time off from work in the next few weeks & I hope to have some time to do some "stuff" here. As some of you know Hüsken has released a new copy of his catalogue with many new items. Unfortunately he has also changed many of the catalogue numbers that we used in our threads here, so one of my planned tasks is to update & correct those catalogue numbers here. I also hope to get new threads started to replace the couple that were lost over the year. Cheers Don

I recently came across one of these, being sold simply as a tinnie & only a few dollars Cheers Don

Pete, Here's the alphabet for you to try & work it out. Cheers Don

I'll take a look.

We'd need to see the reverse to be sure but looking at the others I doubt that it's a good one. Cheers Don

Indeed it is. The biggest clue is that Adolf is spelt wrong on the token. Hitler used "f" not "ph". As a side note, all the badges in the picture further down the page on that link you posted are fakes as well..... Cheers Don

I'm sorry to contradict a fellow moderator, but this is not the police civil pin, the wreath on those is more oval & the eagle different. This is the civil badge for those in employment or working for the army, navy or SS. "Abzeichen für Angestellte und Arbeiter bei Heer, Kreigsmarine und Waffen-SS" Cheers Don

Just thought I'd bump this up for any new members who aren't aware of the other Fascism forum that we have here on GMIC. It's a nice reminder that Germany wasn't the only country with Fascist organisations during the early part of the 20th Century. We have examples from Denmark, Sweden, France, America, Great Britain, even Iceland & Finland plus many others. Please pop in & take a look http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showforum=181 . Cheers Don

They are rather large aren't they. Glad that you managed to get it. Cheers Don
