BURGERHAUS

Very interesting Tinnie you have there. The Kranz I mean. I admire the detail of the town scene. And the clock on the tower reads 9:15. I also find the pin attachment configuration very unique and I don't recognize the maker either. I would guess a very small firm and an uncommon tinnie. That's a nice one. Robert

Yes, and look at the head and beak of the Eagle. It would be interesting to find another 1940. Perhaps another member can show their example. I too do not have one of these in my collection. Robert

Here is an image with the attaching pin open. It looks good to me. There is evidence of honest wear front and back. More examples to view would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, I do not have any of Angolia's reference books. Stop buying badges and start buying more reference material. Thanks agin Gents. Robert

[attachmentid=38529][attachmentid=38530] Don, Quite right. Herr Poellath added his fair share of zinc to add to that tired look. Time to give this one its'annaul vaseline treatment. This one and the minature came together. Robert

Gents, Thanks for your replies. I was not too comfortable about getting it on a Friday morning with 4 minutes of research. This explains my getting a COA with it. I mean, in all seriousness, how the devil could anyone make well thought-out purchase in that short a period of time? I will take some better images tommorow (Tuesday) on my day off. Thanks again Robert

Benten, Thanks for showing your example. Mine seems to lack the little alignment o and the RZM stamp on mine isn't as crisp and detailed as yours. I got this impulsively from a well-known dealer with all of 4 minutes of analysis time. I did do something I have never done before and that is get a COA with it. So, if It appears in any way un-authentic, feel free to say so. Allopinions are welcome. One question slightly off-topic. When returning an item is a refund given for the COA as well. I would think so. HA Ha! Robert

[attachmentid=38180]Reverse Markings

[attachmentid=38178][attachmentid=38179] Gents I assume this is a replacement issue as eveidenced by the B instead of a serial number. I am hoping some other members would have one of these examples to post for comparison. Thank you for your time and courtesy and have a nice Sunday. Robert

[attachmentid=37967][attachmentid=37968]And for you as well. Although a much maligned collectible, I find these very interesting and enjoyable. And not too hard on the pocketbook........yet.

[attachmentid=37962][attachmentid=37963]Pete, That's the one. Curious how the swastika was omitted on your red one. I don't recall if the one I sold had one or not but I do remeber it having an unfamiliar maker's name on the reverse. Is your green marked at all?

[attachmentid=37939][attachmentid=37940] Gents, Has it ever been this quiet? Well I just received this DBV stickpin in the post box today. When I look at it under magnification I notice the B is not quite as distinct as the images in Husken's book. I am hoping a member has an example to compare. The reverse is nicely marked S&L. Here we go. Get those scanners warmed up. Robert

[attachmentid=37618]A Little Releif on a quiet night. Pete your number 308 also comes in red plastic. Beleive it or not I actually parted with that one!

[attachmentid=37616][attachmentid=37617] Gents, I thought I would show my R.D.KI. stickpin. I also have a Mitgliedsbuch for a poultry breeder that I got along with this. I'll scan it later. Also inside the buch is a card with an interesting stamp of a rooster on it. Robert

About Your Tinnie Mr. Avitas. I will read from Foxhole Volume II. Page 17 "Kreistreffen Der NSDAP. Paderborn. 16 u. 17. OKT. 37. District Meeting of the Nazi Party at Paderborn. Matte grey finish. Solid construction. Pin back. Hallmarked. Approx. 2.00 X 1.40" in size." It is valued at $10 in 1980 so you can take it from there. If a collector just has to have this one, it could be worth $45. If not, $25-$35. Of course we are talking US dollars. Perhaps someone with Pounds Sterling could chime in or Euros for that matter. It is a nice original tinnie. I hope this helps. Have a good day. Robert

[attachmentid=37407]The Reverse.

[attachmentid=37406] Gents, Here is my silver example. I am curious as to the criteria for earning these awards. Would the higher grades be for time in servide or service duties or a combination of both? Thanks for showing your example and Don the "in wear" photo. Robert PS My example is rather light in hand.

Don & Mr. Rosenberg I beleive james Noble has one of these nice examples as well. Maybe when he checks in again he will show his Robert

[attachmentid=37177][attachmentid=37178]Just for you Pete

[attachmentid=37175][attachmentid=37176]One more

[attachmentid=37174]Pete, Not only is your tinnie collection impressive but your telepathic skills as well!

[attachmentid=37165][attachmentid=37166] Don, You are quite right. Five letters on left side and 4 letters on right side. To make all the lettering and areas appear like they belong they increased the size of the letters. If thre are any mathematicians here they could explain better. Great Observation. Here is my example. If you thought this previous statement was embarassing wait until you see my example. Aside from attachment plate and pin, it is authentic. Sorry for the spelling. On my first cup of coffee. Robert No laughing please.

[attachmentid=37077][attachmentid=37078] Don, A nice and not often seen membership book you have there. I have seen only one other example like that. It wasn't in very good condition either. Tell me, are there dues stamps inside and if so what years are included? No need to scan and post I am just curious. Thanks for showing the book and badge. Here is my standard Stenografenschaft Badge. Here we go. Robert

[attachmentid=37071][attachmentid=37072]Nice little gems Pete. Here is one I don't think you know I have. Meine Starke Deutschlands Nacht 4-5.3.34 Also, do you happen to know anything about post 287? 1937 SAAZ? What would the symbol on the flag stand for? Pardon my ignorance. Also, post 288 Gau Treffen. Very nice original example. There are copies of that one out and about. My tinnie post for today. Robert
