I'm not too sure if this belongs here, as Austria wasn't taken over yet.

"1936 Akad Skimeisterschaft von Osterreich Mallnitz"

"Braune Messe Hamburg 1933"

"Braune Hansa Messe 9.-24.Juni 1934"

They are creeping up though, I find myself being outbid on ebay more often now, but who cares, there are still thousands of different ones out there.

Gone are the days when you could pick up a good handful of these when you couldn't find that one good piece you were after at a fair, and wanted to go back with something.

"2000 km Durch Deutschland 1934"

For your continued edification:-

"Kreigsopfer-treffen N.S.K.O.V. 650 Jahrefeier der Rattenfangersage. 27.Mai 1934 Hameln" I have this in silver, as here, and bronze.

Is this the red one you meant Robert? No swastika on this variant.

"Wir geboren zusammen, dann sind wir alles. 1936-1937 WHW. Gau Halle-Merseburg"

Pete

You mean enough survived the post war purges!

Pete

Never seen The like, me thinks perhaps fantasy.

Silver type The lop has broken off the end of the pin.

Is that orange/brown piping around the top of the cuffs? Can't say I've seen this before.

"Berlin 13 R.F.S.I."

"Beitriebsfeire S.S.W. Trafo Tag der Arbeit 1938"

There a few varietys of this one as well. Different wording same basic design.

Another plastic one

"Wir geboren zusammen, dann sind wir alles. 1936-1937 WHW. Gau Kurhessen"

Another Kdf Thuringen. Made of plaster I think.

"KdF Hannover" comes in different colours.

As there seem to be only three Gau/Ort marked badges, I wonder if they found that making different reverse dies too expensive and just went with the simple NSDAP marked type. One size fits all. But then why does there seem to be even less of this type around. Any evidence of a date in your Mitglied book Don?

Robert I would say yours has been in a fire, hence the crazing and missing pin. Dug out of the rubble!

No, I baulked at that one. What about the Thuringen!!!

Picked this one up cheap from ebay.

"Flieger uber Bremen. Deutscher Luftsport Verband"

How about some nice little celuloid and tin flags?

and no I havn't got them.

Pete

Got this though:-

"Flugtag Cottbus 1935"

I presume Saaz is a place, it says SJ on the flag. Saaz Youth?

Yes I was lucky with the oft faked one, I almost got bitten once, but the vendors photos were good and you could see the lack of quality ( I don't think he knew) It appears to be cupal (thin sheet copper on an aluminium core)

I see someone snagged this from WA site, so I'll post it first:-

"BDM Sporttag 1936 Obergau 18 Franken"

The packet, which has come out too pale.

Marked "Wilh. Deumer Ludenschied"

You want to see the tissue?

Regards,

Pete

My L/11

And very bad fakes at that!

Pete

A nice one to finish on for tonight.

Regards,

Pete

"Bayer. Skimeisterschaft 21.-23.1.1938 Oberstaufen"

"Bad Tolz" rev. Kreigswinterhilfswerk 1939/40"
