Good work Claymore, got to the bottom of that one.

The pin looks like it,s off a plastic or porcelain tinny, not original to that

badge. I don,t know if it,s a good one or not, but leaning towards it being

a good one if that makes sense. Probably quite rare as well.

Come on Pete stop sitting on the fence!

Good one.

I am with Pete on this one i think it,s fake, these appeared a few years ago, and i never liked

the look of them. I have seen them on a dark cloth background they don,t look good to me.

Mametz

Just looking at the pics of your badge and got the one i have out, saw something in your photo

that i never noticed before. There is a makers mark on it, on the one i have it,s very faint but

looking with a magnifying glass, it,s Karl Wurster Markneukirchen. You learn something every day!

i think the one you have is a good one

Regards

Mametz

Nice one Pete, not seen that one before did you get it at the international on Sunday?

I did,nt make it hangover. Any nice stuff there i have been lucky in the past and found

some good pieces at that show.

Regards

Mametz

Some nice ones there Pete, the price of tin is going up it,s hard to

find a bargain now.God you must be realy realy old i bet you can

remember people like Edgar Broughton and Roy Harper!

Regards

Mametz

Very unusual never seen one like that before

i think it could be wright.

Mametz

Great job Don much appreciated, GMIC best forum for

tinnie collectors bar none

Regards

Mametz

You need better pic,s has it got a scabbard? Also it looks like

there are no makers marks on the blade. If it hasn,t got a

scabbard , i would leave it alone and look for a complete one

Mametz

Nice tinnies gents, the 1938 Hamburg one posted by Brooks is not really a tinnie.

It,s a participants badge given to finalists of the national trade competition, so is

probablebly held in higher regard than a tinny.

Mametz

That,s a nice one is it paper?

Regards

Mametz

I agree with Claymores point " if you can,t show it off " because ultimately the thread will die. Most of the tinnies

will have been posted and we will have nothing to say, but it,s a difficult one as you don,t want to be going over

the same ground.

Regards

Mametz

Great idea Don, i for one would like to see a hj tinnie data base, as it is now

you have to wade through a lot of stuff to find your interest. The sa database

is very good i am sure others would appreciate your effort.

Mametz

Thanks for that, there is a scary copy of this cross on this site " Third Reich. ca " i don,t know what

it,s like in hand, but i could see this fooling many collectors described as a "post war original it looks

pretty good. People like this are ruining this hobby new collectors getting caught with stuff like this

are put off and give up,What to do about this i don,t know apart from studying known originals and

keeping up to date with the latest fakes.

Regards

Mametz

A very nice cross is it unusual to have such a large number 1 mark

others i have seen the 1 is smaller?

Regards

Mametz

Three nice ones there, is the last one for sa brigade Plauen?

Regards

Mametz

Some real nice ones there,the Oberwiesenthal 1939 is stunning it,s in Tieste,s book 3rd auflage the only one i have, as

pappe. The 1938 skitreffen he says is efoplast, what the difference is i don,t know

Regards

Mametz

Hello

My first go at posting a picture hope it works

Regards

Mametz

Looks good to me, if its a fake it,s very scary.

Regards

Mametz

Good luck but don,t build your hopes up with these "trustworthy dealers in the uk"

very rare birds.

Regards

Mametz

Another one i have not seen before, very nice

Mametz

Nice bronze Potsdam badge Pete, there is supposed to be a grey painted

version of this badge but i have never seen one

Regards

Mametz

It would appear to be a 1936 chained ss dagger, but you need to post more pics

of the blade and motto also details of the chain and scabbard. Looking at what

you show my first impression is it looks very crude lacking detail more pics

Regards

Mametz

Whats that weird looking thing above the clasp never seen that before

very strange!
