Greg Walden Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 (edited) I also like Reichsparteitag items. Here are a couple 1933 tinnies. I usually see these with the pin rather rudely soldered on, but I like this one with the Balmberger pin mount.Best,Greg[attachmentid=33436][attachmentid=33437] Edited April 5, 2006 by Greg Walden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Heres the hollow type. Have you noticed that the background to the swastika comes both pebbled and plain. Regards,Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erich S Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I thought that I would bring this thread back and add a few pieces from my collection. First is a small 1929 display which includes a cased plaque, post card and both silver and bronze badges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dos Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Hello all, This is my first post here. I have read a lot here on this forum so far about skull insignia from different paramilitary organisations, army and other objects from for instance the Freikorps. This is my main collecting area and interest. I never had any reason to join here, But since i have come across a item i can't place after doing some extensive research i thought i should try it here. I know that this is an old thread, but i hope that the TS Nick or some of you that have replied here know anything about this funnel badge that i found. I think it is made between the late 1890's and early 1930's.. but that is just a guess from my part if you look at the contstruction and patina. The totenkopf part is made from emaille / Enamel. The "Funnel" it self is die stamped from some kind of brass or copper material and flat like a badge. It seems to be hand finished afterwards. It has the size of an award or skull insignia and has some kind of gold finish applied to it. The ribbon has the colors of the coat of arms from Nürnberg and it can be attached with the use of a pin. I am looking for any manufacturer or company that is called S.W.J from Nürnberg, but could not find any online or in reference books. Most Nuremberger Funnel items that i have seen have the name "Nürnberger Trichter" or something related on it with a date. The combination of this S.W.J abbreviation and the use of a "Totenkopf" is very weird in my mind. Any opinions or information on this piece will be much appreciated! Thank you, Dos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Macleod Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 IMO, a tinnie for Sicher wie Jold- International Association of Artists founded in 1904. The skull motif has to do with their motto: "Treu in Freund und treu in Leid". Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytop Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Hi, the basic motto of the organization was "Treu in Freud und treu in Leid". For the Freud (Freude > joy) stand the Fez, and for the Leid (Leiden > suffering) stand the Totenkopf. Uwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dos Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Thank you very much Matthew and Speedytop. I did make some progress my self along with some members on Warrelics.eu.
