Tinnies I've Been Workin' On The Westwall ... And All I Got Is This Stinkin' PIN!

[Guest Rick Research]

Oh what a difference a year made! 1938/39-- very nice medal.

1939/40...

9mm x 28mm leetle tiny tinnie. :banger:

Tho that wee badge will now be worth more $$s than the medal

:Cat-Scratch: Really?

I'm not good on Current Retail. Since catalogs Ceased To Be (marvelous things, catalogs. Available 7x24 for re-perusal of things one had never noticed before, for pricing trends....), when something like this drops in to be Epsonized and shared here, I've nooooo clue.

Though, amazingly enough, I've actually started BACK into Third Reich items--which are still as plentiful as ever--in areas that have not inflated TOO badly (by comparison) in prices.

I probably had 10 lovely 1939 bronze Westwalls-- a good number of them mounted in medal bars back In My Day (1980s)-- but this is the first Micro Trowel I've ever noticed.

Yes, that wooden unit marked remembrance shovel is quite unique. I assume it once had a banner attached.

Enjoyed seeing it.
