Tinnies Tieste "A" Top Tens

[Colin Davie]

For fun, and to help us get to know each other's taste in tinnies (ok we already know Claymore's 1st love )... your top 10 desires from Tieste's 1st volume "A" listing. I only have the 4th edition, but I assume he has kept the same numbering, so I might miss out on some badges (wants) from the 5th edition, but most of us will get a grasp of what's what.

Could I suggest the 10 be kept in order as in the book, to save readers having to jump back and forth.

I hope that who knows, we can help each other find an "always wanted", or at least post a pic of one.

looking forward to reading some replies. So to my TOP TEN "A"s.

1. Aachen 34-01.

I have a lot of HJ tinnies, but not this one, love the design, and looks like a big badge.

2.Achim 35-01.

Nice design, just like the eagles atop badges like this.

3.Aibling,Bad 33-01.

Eagle as above, looks like a great badge, would love to see a good pic of one.

4.Aichach 34-01.

Right next door to the one above in Vol4, another HJ that looks the business, love tinnies with some enamel like this one.

5.Annaberg 33-02.

Well again another HJ I don't have and would love to obtain, just a great design.

6.Arbeitsgau 34-01.

Looks like it would be a great display item.. love big badges.

7.Arnsberg 35-01.

Love badges featuring Erwache standards, don't have it..want it.

8.Aue 33-02.

Great looking design, would love to see one in hand.

9.Aue 33-03.

Speaks for it's self.. I want it!

10.Aue 38-01.

Again, looks like it would be a great badge in the hand.

Well that's mine, hope to see others. For age's one of my biggest wants of all Alfeld 37-01, the huge leather Deer one.. got it last year, before I moved down under.. did not disappoint.

...it's fair to say that I have a one track mind

...my wish-list is taken from both books, and only consists of thirteen 'wants'....as for SA tinnies in general...I'm happy enough to bumble along picking up what I can find...my only criteria is that the tinnie I buy must always be in the best possible condition...i.e, no rust, no damage, and with original needle still attached....I don't mind if a small part of the original finish has worn down a bit, as this sometimes helps to highlight the fine artwork of the tinnie...

What are the 13 tinnies you are after?

Your SA collection is great, I love far too many of the other designs to specialize in just one theme though.. but I suppose it gives a proper focus to concentrate on one theme, mine are all over the place (as is proven in the list above ).

Colin, good idea! I have a few, actually quite a few I wish to add to my tinnie box. I never did buy the book though so can not contribute. I stopped at the Foxhole series of four.
