Troy Tempest

Hello again! Does anyone think it's likely that this Palestine clasp is either genuine or would be attached to a Kyffhäusermedaille if it was genuine?

And here is my Deutsche Bauernhäuser - Südbayern

And my Deutsche Bauernhäuser - Schwarzwald

And my Deutsche Bauernhäuser - Schlesien

Here is my Deutsche Bauernhäuser - Niederrhein

Here is my Deutsche Bauernhäuser - Mittel Deutschland

Here is my Deutsche Bauernhäuser - Friesland

Here is my 1934 WHW Aufwärts Aus Eigener Kraft (upwards from own strength) badge, nice eagle.

Thank you again Tom, the updating of my database is going splendidly :cheers:

Thank you all for your comments and thanks Heiko for the correct name of the award!

Thank you Tom!

Hello gents, does this look real to you?

Hello again gents, the only description that came with this was Ehrenkreuz des Kriegerverein SEHESTEDT v. 1891. Is this the correct name for this medal please? Thanks again!

Hello gentlemen! I am wondering if anyone can cast some light on this medal for me please?

Hot in Sydney today was it Troy? Chill out dude. Have one of these... ... by the pool.

A little bit of Humour is a good thing in this life for some of us.

Describing this badge as "rare" IS funny, but it's the person selling it that laughable not you.

Your humble apology is accepted however. (p.s. that's humour again)

All the best

Alas it's Melbourne weather all day today - no pool or beach for me I'm afraid! And I only drink champagne! Perhaps the seller was having a laugh but I'm happy with the badge, and it's adding to my small but growing tinnie collection, about 12 out of the total 200 pieces I have managed to gather in my secret (as far as the other half is concerned!) collection. I didn't have much interest in tinnies at first, but am taking a shine to them now.

If one was to examine every pupil of every high school of the entire planet you would still find less pimples than there are examples of this badge floating around. One of only a very few tinnies I am sick of the sight of. . When it comes to sales blurb sometimes ignorance is bliss.

Well excuse me Colin Davie, perhaps I should run everything past you first before posting anything else on this site? Please accept my most humble apologies for daring to ask someone a question about this tinnie, especially as by forcing you to view it, it has made you sick and taken you away from your fixation with pimples. Thanks again for your answer Naxos!

Okay! Thanks Rick and Heiko - back it goes!

Hi gents! Have any of you seen one of these before? I saw a photo of one in an auction book once, from a deceased estate of a well known collector, but finally found one myself and it arrived today. I shall replace the sellers photo with one of my own shortly:

Troy and gang, you might find this site of some value: http://bayoswede.zoomin.se/index/29788.html

Thanks dond! A couple more makers to add to our list!

Congrats! Are you collecting a certain type?

Hi Paul! I'm collecting all three grades, have so far 26 HKIs, 6 HKIIs and 7 HKIIIs, three urkunde's and am hoping to get my first cased HKI. I also have now 8 EKIIs (imperial) and climbing! I know I have been promising to post photos soon, I have laybyed a digital camera that can focus down to 1cm, I'm going away to my mums for a holiday today for 7-10 days, when I get back to Sydney I'll pick the camera up and start photographing my collection. It now stands at about 120 items. I've posted about 30 on my site, but using the sellers photos, I'll replace them all early next year and post them all here as well.

The lad from sunny Sydney has just cracked 40!

Thank you Joe and all the others, again, I have learnt something new!

Thanks Don! It's not for sale, I saw it on a Kriegsmarine site, and had never seen one before.

Hi gents! Does anyone know anything about this? Apparently only a handfull were awarded? What was it called?

Hi Student, thanks very much for that link, that shop has got everything!

SILBERNES ?RMEL-EHRENZEICHEN. Versilbert, 49x40 mm an Nadel/Splint. Trageweise an der Armbinde

So does this mean it's a silver sleeve badge? To be worn on an armband? (my guess at translating!)
