Thank you for the opinion on the clasp

would like to have opinions on this one, thanks http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=125961

Thanks, I'am pretty sure the box is original to the badge. I found several others on the forum that were similiar to this one.

Thanks for the info on the swedish fake. Wow they make a very good fake. Are the originals worth a lot? I would figure they would have to be to spend so much time and use a heavy material like they did to make this one.

Very nice badge, I have been looking for one of these myself. Are the badges in Bronze common?

........

Can anyone tell me what this is? I know it is a political item maybe for the N.S.D.A.P. . And would it be classified as a stick pin, badge , or medal? It is 2 inches tall and 1 inch wide made of bronze or copper. Any information would be appreciated on this item.

the 1934 tinnie is kind of rough missing pin.

very nice tinnies, I noticed that this thread is a few months old with very few replies. I would think that there are more people who have some tinies in thier collection. I don't specifically collect them but do pick one up every now and then. Here are a few of the ones I have pick up over the years.

No problem, and on both the lists I have Hobachter is the way the name is spelled.

maker mark

I listed this badge on a different thread on the forum by mistake and I couldn't delete the post so here it is again. I do not specifically collect only wound badges but I couldn't resist this one. A early 65 Klein & Quenzer with an original KB 629 marked box with the threaded cloth hinge there is about 50% of the silver gilt left on the badge. From what I have found out concerning the badge. You can tell it is a Early issue due to the mm65 being in the back center of the badge. The later ones had the maker stamp lower closer to the clasp. Any opinions or information would be appreciated concerning the badge and it's case

I'm no expert or claim to be but the two lists of makers I have only lists W. Hobachter, Wien as using the 32 code on both lists I could not find a W. Hobacher, were you looking at two different sites? Maybe one of them misspelled the name?

badge close

A early 65 Klein & Quenzer, I would say 50% of the original silver gilt is still on the badge. The card board issue box is also in very good condition. The box itself is also maker marked 629 KB on both sides on the inside of the box. The box has a threaded cloth hinge that runs complately accros the back of both the lid and bottom of the box.Any opinions oradditional information about the badge would be appreciated.

Hat RZM tag

I have noticed that RZM tags have differnt capitol letters on them depending what they are attached to. Such as armbands having the letter B on them. And coats haveing the letter C and hats having the letter F on them. Is this a correct assumption concerning these tage? If so where can I find specific information concerning this? I figure that this may help in identifying fake items. I was looking at a auction where there was a supposedly original heer jacket with a paper RZM tag on it. The tag had a large letter B on it. This looked kind of wierd to me seeing how I have only seen these types of tags on armabnds I'am no expert on this subject so I figured I would ask and see if anyone on the forum had any infoirmation reguarding the RZM tags. I have posted a pic showing a rzm tag on a HJ armband and on the inside sweatband of a heer officiers hat.

Thanks for the scan, the shield was given to me along with several other items. I was wondering about the shield due to the way the eagles eye on the head looked. I really don't collect them but was interested in knowing if the shield was authentic or not.

Yea it does, and thank you very much for your expertise reguarding this shield.

Very nice, I tend to like the documents better then the badges or medals themselves. What is interesting to me is the date of 1942 on your document. Did this type of training for the HJ go on much past this time? I was just wondering seeing how the tide of war turning against the axis in this year. And I wonder how much longer did the germans continue this type of training for the HU.
