NS HAGO 1.10.1933 Gautagung Kassel

Hi there I am wondering if this is the only NSBO tinnie ("Landestreffen der N.S.B.O. Hessen-Nassau Frankfurt a. M. 27. Aug. 1933") that has a mobile swastika. I noticed this the other day, as most NSBO items I have encountered have a static swastika. So is this a manufacturing error?? Thanks Mel

Thanks for the info Don much appreciated Mel

Those are lovely items....Eric I really like your drummer boy statue Mel

Hi there I am wondering if this is original or a fantasy piece? This is the only picture I have as it is from a local website Thanks Mel

But this one which is a 25 year badge is marked number 4. So I am wondering is a 50 numbered 6??? I have only seen a 50 year badge once and then I was dubious as the details weren't as crisp Mel

Here is mine one, surprise surprise it is a number 5, I am seeing a pattern

NIce Flock of eagles you have there and you are right your latest editions wing is weird. Looks like it might of been clipped Mel

Wow what an incredible thread. Big thumbs up for all

That was my thinking as well Joe. But noticed slight differences in the lettering, so I will go for design change

Very nice additions

Hi Troy I know the seller your talking about and yes most of his stuff is "Keep clear" and "beware". There are better places to pick up what your looking for. Mel the Kiwi

Like you Troy I just need the armband and a gold badge to make my little collection as complete as I will be able to do I picked this up the other week to match the 40 year badge that goes with it. I personally like the history of the signature as well. The authorizing signature is, "Reichskriegerführer", (National Soldier's League Leader), and "General der Infanterie, SS-Obergruppenführer", Wilhelm Reinhard Interesting career had he "a highly decorated WWI veteran having been awarded the Iron Cross in both 1ST and 2ND classes and a Pour le Mérite in August 1917 followed by the Oak-leaves to the Pour le Mérite in October 1918 among numerous other awards. During the Third Reich era Reinhard was bestowed an NSDAP Golden party badge on March 22ND 1938, the War Merit Cross in both 1ST and 2ND classes, an SS-Totenkopf, (Death's Head), Ring on October 8TH 1937 and an Ehrendegen der RFSS, (Honor Sword of the SS Supreme Commander), on March 18TH 1939. Reinhard held the position of Reichskriegerführer from March 18TH 1938 until March 3RD 1943 when the position was abolished." Mel the Kiwi

Erich your Coburg collection is always a pleasure to look at and admire Thanks for showing and here is hoping there is more along the way Mel the Kiwi

Also looks a bit like John Lennon as well :whistle:

Absoulutely stunning

Hi Don I have consequently found out that this is a fake. The dealer I brought it off (one of the most respected dealers in my country) was very understandable, when I pointed out what was pointed out to me. Bit of a bugger really, but these things happen. Oh yeah the signs it was a fake were: 1: The NSBO swas was never on a angle, always displayed the same way. All NSBO items I have show the swas displayed the same way and not on an angle. 2: The angle of the arm is not quite right 3: The casting seam is of poor quality Told the lovely wife and she understood kind of...

Seasons greetings to you all My lovely wife brought me this little ornament for xmas. I am thinking this looks like a Car hood Ornament (Mascot) but am unsure, so can someone please help me out on what this is. The device measures 80mm high, 73mm wide and has D.R.G.M at the base before the threaded section. Along with this my wife also got me a NSBO stickpin...ahhh got love a women who understands my other passion. I was thinking of mounting this in some nice native wood with a brass plaque once I know what it was used for. Thanks in advance Mel the Kiwi

There is something quite frightening about that photo Roman Mel the Kiwi
