Claymore Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 ...not too long ago, I posted a particularly 'ordinary' looking SA tinnie (ahem!)..."SA Brigade 34, Chemnitz 1935"...here is said tinnie again...matched with a photo of a SA Pioneer 'musiker'....according to a good friend who knows his SA history inside and out...this man's unit was part of SA Brigade 34.......and what makes this photo even more special (apart from the fact it's a rare image of a SA Pioneer 'musiker')...is that if you look very closely at his uniform, you will notice the top of half of this very tinnie!....dating the photo to at least sometime in 1935.......how I dearly wish the portrait photo was just a couple of inches lower...then we could have seen the entire tinnie in all its glory!....
Scowen Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 ...not too long ago, I posted a particularly 'ordinary' looking SA tinnie (ahem!)...Ordinary tinnie my arse!!! Lovely shot, as you say shame it wasn't just a little lower.Thanks for sharing.CheersDon
Claymore Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 ...thank you for your kind words Sir! ...once upon a time we touched on the subject of postcards and programms that featured the tinnies we collect......so with that in mind..."SA-Treffen Brigade 86, Schwaben, 24. und 25. August 1935"...the postcard was 'cancelled' on the 25th August 1935....the writer on the back mentions attending the 'Brigadetreffen'....
Scowen Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Now that is cool........ I do like it when items like programs & cards etc feature the event badge on them. Not quite as much as pictures in wear mind you....... CheersDon
Claymore Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 ...very nice Pete.......and well done breathing life back into the 'SA tinnie' marathon !...I shall have to post a few of my new additions...but waiting for the best natural light is not that good at the moment...every day is so over cast and dull...not to mention we're only getting about 6 hours proper daylight up here...
Wood Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 Its getting harder to find new ones, I have 3 or 4 new ones, but all have been posted here before, must do a montage.NOT tomorrow evening though.
Claymore Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 ...and why not ???...is there something happening tomorrow evening that is more important ??? ...I would say that after the 'session' that we have got planned...there will be no danger of me being able to find my arse, even with the aid of an atlas....'cos my whole (pun intended!) sense of direction will be completely buggered (another pun!) .......bring on the quines! ...bring on the Hogmanay ! ...and maybe one for the road (still getting over last nights 'practice' run)
mametz Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 HelloMy first go at posting a picture hope it works Regards Mametz
Wood Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Well mate, out of focus (rather like my head on this first day of 2008)BUT a fantastic one to start with.RegardsPete
Claymore Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 ...a couple of sea-faring SA tinnies..."Skagerrak 1935 SA Marinestandarte 2".
Claymore Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 ...another one for the same Sachsen unit......this one is all the more appealing due to the use of colour....I have seen a non-coloured version..."Marine-Standarte 2, Sachsen 3.6.34, Skagerrak-Feier".
Claymore Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 ...here's a rather 'ordinary' (!) tinnie...featuring the same of Horst Wessel....you may have heard of him....a bit of a SA 'martyr'....apparently wrote a little known song.... "Horst-Wessel-Tag, Bielefeld 1933"(Bielefeld being the birth place of HW).
Claymore Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 ...and considering the weather we 'should' be having, i.e, crisp snow everywhere.....(damm that 'global-warming')......time to grab your ski's..."3. SA-Ski-Treffen, Oberwiesenthal 1936".
Claymore Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 ...let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!"6. S?chsisches SA-Skitreffen Wettk?mpfe Der HJ u. Des DRL, Oberwiesenthal 1939".
Wood Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 (edited) Nice badges Ian. I particlarly like the last one, Efoplast?This one is a rather muddy pressing, beautifully crisp on the back though. It is another pressed cardbord/efoplast type material. Edited January 2, 2008 by wood
Claymore Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 ...Hi Pete, correct on the 'Efoplast' thought......I do like the new one you've just posted....very nice.......I have a few more SA on the way, one of which is paper, and another in 'Efoplast'...the rest will be assorted 'tin'....
Claymore Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 ...I do like the plastic ones!"SA Gruppenwettk?mpfe der SA Gruppe Ostmark 1938".
Claymore Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 ...last for the moment..."Aufmarsch SA-Gruppe Hansa, 25.-2.4.1936, Hamburg Schwerin".
mametz Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Some real nice ones there,the Oberwiesenthal 1939 is stunning it,s in Tieste,s book 3rd auflage the only one i have, as pappe. The 1938 skitreffen he says is efoplast, what the difference is i don,t know Regards Mametz
Brooks Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 (edited) Let's see how this one comes out. It's one of my favorites. Edited January 3, 2008 by Brooks
Brooks Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 (edited) One last one. It's a big one! Edited January 3, 2008 by Brooks
Claymore Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 ...and that last one is definitely on my 'wants list' !
