Lapa Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Hi Eric,N is probably for Napoleon (Napoleon the 1st). But who knows....Cheers.Ch. Eric,Each year, there is a big reenacting party in the Czech Republic; I am not too sure, but I believe that it is the Austerlitz battle. These are most likely to come from there.Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Hi to all,Would reenacting groups already exist in the 20/30s ? I honestly don't know... Interesting..Cheers.Ch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe,What make you say that this pin is from the 1920~30's? Looks more recent to me.Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Re-enacting groups were HUGE at the time of the Centennial, before the First World War. Many European army units also celebrated 100th birthdays in those years and produced ceremonial Napoleonic replica uniforms.(I colorized this scan for Tom Y ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Stahlhut Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 so when do some of you guys think this pin was made?p.s. just curious: are you guys familiar with tinnies made by czech makers during the 20/30/40s? personally, i think the detail, design, and quality of material blows away the german makers from the 30/40s. but that's another story best saved for another time, i guess...sorry for the tangent!cheers!
