BURGERHAUS

[attachmentid=22336]Folks, I was hoping a member here might have a marked example of this particular badge. I have searched high and low to no avail. I see quite a few of these but none with any markings whatsoever. I also see numerous catch assemblies as well. I am wondering also what is the accepted form of catch assembly for this badge. Thanks all. Robert

Ok Robert, what am I missing? I've been staring at the lower left of the stamp but can't see anything.....

Cheers

Don

Don, What I meant was that not only did the TR maufacture a day badge but stamps and postcards as well for an event that never occured. Makes one wonder how far in advance they were produced. The attack on Poland was pre-planned. I wonder at what date the 1939 Reichsparteitag was cancelled. At least the stamps and postcards could be used. My emphasis was on the year of the Reichsparteitag. Take Care. Robert

Don, You are THE MAN! Thank You. Can anybody make out the cancellation on the Zeppellin stamp?

Thanks for the link Ralph very interesting. Some nice ones you have as well Chris.

As promised, her are the only ones I have. As mentioned before, they came as part of a deal, I don't even know if they are genuine.

Cheers

Don

Guys, Here are a few of the ones that I have. The Zeppellin even has a microscopic swastika on the tailfin. Also note the lower left 39 Parteitag. Great thread. I very rarely look at these. Some of the art and symbolism is incredible. Have a nice weekend. Robert

 

Robert,

 

Thanks for posting your badge, it looks like one of the smaller lapel size ones, is it?

 

About half of mine are unmarked the rest are C. Poellath, except for the small shield shaped ones in the group above which are Klammer. I was told along time ago to avoid any marked 'A.G. & Co. M?nchen' as a large number of these appeared with one particular German dealer in the 1970's. It not clear if they were unfinished period ones out of the woodwork or fakes, but the gold is never quite right on them & most are a bronze colour.

 

I have about 25 different ones of these in various sizes & grade (Gold, Silver & Bronze) now. The finish doesn't last very well on them & sometimes the only way to see what grade they are is to look at the pin plate. They weren't made to last just for the competition really, which is strange considering the quality of the enamelling as you pointed out.

 

Yes, the pins are quite pronounced on them, quite often they are pushed flat against the badge, I guess because they bashed so earily.

 

Here's a nice silver I have, the image doesn't do it justice, it's stunning in hand.

 

Cheers

Don

 

Don, It makes sense that the pin attaching device would get smashed down quickly. I've just done a quick check of my other enamels with similar set-ups and this one is by far the highest. Maybe a replacement. Take a look. P.S. Still searching for the maker's name with the cicle S. (Reichskolinialbund)

Robert PSS It is the lapel size pin.

 

 

 

Anyone here collect or have any of the Austrian shooting achievement badges?

 

I have quite a few now, I'll post an old scan I took a while back, but I do have quite a few more now. If anyone wants to see any detailed images of any just ask.

 

Cheers

Don

 

Don, I have only one of thses beautiful badges. I especially like the superior red enameling on the eagle. By the way, are yours made by Alois Klammer? Also, do you notice a higher attaching pin than normally found? What I mean to say is how far it rises from the revrse of the badge. This one is a little grubby but I don't want to clean it. Thank You. Robert

 

 

Posted on behalf of Robert as the size is just over the limit.

Cheers

Don

Thank You Don, I just wanted to add that with my less-than-perfect interpretation Herr Baumeister came from a long line of metalsmiths. If I'm not mistaken Baumeister basically means master builder and schlosser is a metal worker or something of that sort. I notice also that John's Karte has the membership number written and mine is stamped. John, what years of dues stamps are in yours? Mine goes from 1938 thru 1940 with one stamp standing alone different than all the rest with a big capital A in the center.

Thanks Again for posting for me Don! Robert

John, I just wanted to add my pins for comparison. The pin-back has the cicle S and the miniature a totally diferent mark. Would anyone know what that one is? I will also show my membership book if that is OK. If I am posting too much let me know and I will stop for a few days and only browse. Happy New Year! Robert

Gentlemen, I have been wondering about this for quite a long time. Should a red flag be raised if the pin attachment and keeper are not in the 9 and 3 o'clock position in the horizontal style? I feel this is an original badge and it doesn't appear that the attachment pinand keeper have been replaced. Do you think it could be particular to the maker or a manufacuring error? Your opinions and input a greatly appreciated and thank you for your time and courtesy. Robert

Very Sorry, What I wanted to add is that I hope the fakers never get that cream enamelling right like the originals. Thank you all and you Don especially. Happy New Year! Robert
