shako_uk Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Is this classed as a "tinnie", or is it for civilian wear? Any information welcomed.This badge is 50mm across, bi-metal, mounted on a blue/yellow silk ribbon. It has a brooch-pin fastening, vertical, at the rear, on a circular plate marked "Paul Kust, Berlin C.19" The scroll reads: "VER. EHEM. DRAGONER 16 16. Aug. 1905"
Chip Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 shako_uk,I would call it a veteran's badge or pin. To me "Tinnie" connotes an all metal badge. It's for former members of the unit. Worn on civilian clothes, most likely at reunions or association meetings.Chip
