Claymore Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 ..very nice tinnies Don.....and I'm still very impressed with the way that your scanner can pick up such small detail from photos.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard V Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I was rooting about in my box of tinnies the other day & came across two SA's I forgot that I had.Here's the first, I picked this up as I had a picture of one in wear....Don, there is one of the exact same style but from a different province that I have in my collection. I obtained it on the cheap and thought it would be great trading material since I believed it to be the same as the one I already had in my collection (pictured in your post). It wasn't until I received it that I discovered it was not the same. I'll try to scan it tonight when I get home and post it here. By the way, how can you get such detailed close ups on your scanner as you did with this shot of the badge in the photo? When I try this, the resolution is either too low and any blow ups turn fuzzy or, if I use a higher resolution I always get an error message saying "scratch disc is full". Still haven't figured out what that means other than for some reason there is not enough memory to process the image even though I have 512k RAM and 57 gigs left on the hard drive.Richard V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scowen Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Thank you Gentlemen.I know the tinnie you mean Richard, I saw it a few times when I was looking for the Sachsen one. As to the scanner, I use an Epson Perfection 1670, the software that came with it is very good. I scan at 1200 dpi & then use PaintShop pro to resize down to posting size.I'm not a tech guy Richard, but it sounds as if the memory that your machine uses to store info while it scans isn't large enough to transfer the image. Ask in the tech area of the forum here http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showforum=158 , someone with better knowledge may be able to help.CheersDon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Davie Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 If you preview the image before you scan it you can normally adjust the size of the area being scanned down to just the rough area of the item you want in detail, then as Don says at 1200dpi you will get great detail in the small selected area. Problems can arise when you attempt to scan the whole photo at 1200dpi and the file can be huge, though I always do that with any photo's I get and have'nt had any probs myself.C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard V Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Thanks for the technical advice. I think I need to become somwhat more computer literate. Don, I found the tinnie that looks a lot like the Sachsen. It is one for Stuttgart. Here it is pictured next to its Sachsen cousin.Richard V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claymore Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 ...remember me ???...after a major virus problem...rebooting and reloading...hopefully I can continue with no ill effects......(for anyone who was in touch with me privately, please make contact again, I lost my entire email address book )...so here's a new SA tinnie...about the same size as the standard NSDAP membership badge......I'm quite chuffed with this one...anything pre-1933 is always a bonus...I like the simplistic style of this badge..."S.A. Marschiert in Hessen, Juli 1932". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wood Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Hi Ian I thought you were on holiday, I too have had computer problems, ain't it a pi**er.Having to pull my wings in at the moment because of car problems etc, anyway, nice to see you back.Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claymore Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Thanks Pete.......another SA !...I seem to be finding a lot from 'Chemnitz'...must have been a popular SA location......my favourite combination on a tinnie....SA roundel, eagle & a hakenkreuz..."SA Brigadetreffen, Chemnitz 1933".

Claymore Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 ...it's been a bit quiet round here lately.......SA!...I'm only guessing here, but is the number '30' which features at the bottom of the tinnie possibly the Standarte number?"SA Sporttreffen der Standarte Waldeck in Corbach, 16-17.Juni 1934".

Colin Davie Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Nice badge, Claymore you must have an impressive collection when all your badges are put to-gether, can you give some group shots?Thanks for sharing your badges. C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claymore Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 ...thanks Colin...I had planned on doing a group shot of a few of the SA tinnies that I own......just need to think of a nice artistic background......it's so very difficult to find new SA tinnies at the moment....there's not much around just now...

Claymore Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 ...SA !...this very nice SA tinnie has a really solid feel to it, even though it is hollow-backed......I'm very impressed with the whole design of the tinnie...the large central SA roundel, perfectly formed...with the 'hakenkreuz' arms behind.......fairly chuffed with this one!"SA Brigade 45 Aufmarsch, 24.Juni 1934".

Claymore Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 ...a grouping of three SA tinnies....I've seen these posted by others earlier in this thread, so I thought it best just to group my lot together..."SA -Gruppe Hochland, SA-Gruppen Wettk?mpfe 1939" "SA Wehrkampfe Tage Nordsee 1939""Kampftage Der Fr?nkischen SA 1937".
