...and look what dropped through the post earlier today...
"Reichs-Wettkampftage Der S.A. Gruppe Niederrhein 28.-30. Aug. 1935"
I assume it is usual for a lot of these S.A. meeting tinnies to feature a sword and wreath design? As taken from their sports award badge's ?

Hi Benten,
Thanks for the positive words....
I'm still very much a 'newbie' with regards to tinnie's...I've looked at a lot of tinnie thread's on various forum's...but after seeing a few stunning examples here, I decided to take the plunge....still not sure which one's to concentrate on...there's thousands of styles out there!
So at the moment it's whatever 'jumps' out at me....
Still need to get myself a tinnie 'library'...a few reference works....
I like the fact that tinnie's are nowhere near as heavily faked as the more popular combat awards and rank insignia....I need to learn what to look out for and avoid making any boo-boo's....
Until now, my main interest has been with propaganda postcards...but I've now strayed....
Here's a recent purchase, this time showing the S.A. roundel that you speak of....
'S.A. Brigade Treffen Erfurt - Ostern 34'
I guess that translates as 'S.A. Brigade meeting, Erfurt (main city of the state of Thuringia) - Easter 34'

...very nice tinnie Benten...
...I like the way the aged patina helps to highlight the detailing...
For my own part....I've become attracted to tinnie's featuring swords and daggers....especially those with fine detailing to the blade itself...
..for instance...'Alles F?r Deutschland' written on this S.A. blade...
