Nice looking tag you have,Ernst. Did you inquire what the number stands for? Chances are you might find out the dog it once belonged to if there was a central register. Regards
Shame on me,no excuse,yeah I just commented on the pic.Now the offer gets better,but still I am sure patience will serve you a better and maybe cheaper one. Regards
A lot of first timers for me here! While I still wonder what Robert had in mind when he looked up the sheep,I don?t come up with better ideas Polizei been my first thought,but considering Egendorf it might also be Politische Fachschaft.I have never seen that certain pin before,but the design is somewhat similar to the German police star.I am clueless.Sorry,mates.
Now this is one I have been hunting for years,but never even got close.It is my 2nd fav. brooch/tinnie whatever it is. Benten has one also.Congrats on this fine piece!
Dear Mr.Murphy, you are the man Your observations fit perfectly! It is indeed ground dug,found in the garden of some guy in Germany near the French border.And also thanks alot for the hint on how to clean it. Kindest Regards
Hi Kev, thanks,it is indeed nice! It is made of bronce so I hope the green oxid will be removable.It is marked:J.F.Gouery&C .All I found out the guy is a French arms manufacutrer. Regards
Hi, this thread is really worth while.I am sorry to report back this late-whishing you a nice week-end Robert and Don. Though I use Freddy?s surname I am not really familiar with the KfdK,so hadn?t known his relation with that to be honest. I am an odd guy and so was he I actually had a good laugh after it took me like 2 minutes to understand who you talk about Regards
The tinnie shown by DJ is from the Liberation festivities of the returning Saarland to the Reich.I believe the dragon theme just to be fetched from some old nordic saga and not connected to the Saar itself.
First,I sorry for the confusion I arose-I worked too much Robert,the people of the Saarland are Germans in their self-understanding,but throughout history there where several occupations so the informal language is strongly influenced by French words nowhere else used in Germany. In regard to your badge I would like to add this: It is a membership pin for the "club" of radio-owners which was a rarity at the time.I have never seen that before and would rate it rare! Regards
