    Usually overpriced, I aquired these two in a trade at the right price.

    Lörrach.

    Zweibrücken.

    Two nice ones there Pete, your not wrong about the price these days

    that Lorrach one is a cracker. I found nothing at the last Brum

    no SA or HJ, same on the net not much on the websites i visit.

    Got any tips. I don,t want to know all your secrets :rolleyes:

    Regards

    Well Mametz,

    These two were at the MCM, as was I. Though as my car has been stolen, I am constained in time, as to when my lift wishes to arrive and leave.

    I also picked up a first pattern Braunschweig SA for a steal.

    Regards,

    Pete

    Note, the dealer with the HJ tinnies was using Tieste as a priceguide, so they were not over the top, even before the trade.

    My main contact at the moment is an 70 year old ex-collector in Germany who is liquidating his collection, I get offered the stuff that has the dreaded swastika, as he can't ebay them.

    Hitler Youth Ski Team Competition Badge.

    Bought this badge earlier this year - measures 3,8cm x 4,5cm

    Multi- piece construction, the outer border reads "Mannschaftslauf 1935-36-Nesselwang-Bayern" with green enamel. The skis are attached with 4 hollow rivets and as the HJ diamond in the center of the edelweiss.

    I'm sorry to say that the enamel "Nesselwang" is considered by most enamel collectors to be a fake based on a very similar design, "all metal" tinnie, see here for an original http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=443963&highlight=nesselwang

    The enamel versions appeared in the 1970's around the same time as the DRK sisters badges with the coloured borders, the DRK alpine rescue badge & the various NSFK enamel fakes.

    Sorry :blush:

    I don't blame you for not coming mate, a dreary wet day. Entry is now £4! I found one swastikerless cloth tinnie.

    Oh, I also bought a copy of Gordens new book on Naval badges.

    85% of my new stuff is from germany, 10% from America, 5% here.

    I see Chris (the polisher) will be selling his collection over on WA, that will be interesting, as he has some wild ideas on pricing.
