Mike Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 I can't find it in any of my books, Maybe a Veteran Comm pin for the battles? ...the pin has been bent to the side. Have any of you ever seen one before?
Mike Posted February 16, 2006 Author Posted February 16, 2006 Nice paper tag ! ....could it be an early Nazi pin trying to draw support from the Vets ?
Mike Posted February 18, 2006 Author Posted February 18, 2006 Nice paper tag ! ....could it be an early Nazi pin trying to draw support from the Vets ?I know that "Tannenberg" and "Sedan" were huge German Victories ...Hindenburg was even in command for the Tannenberg battle. Since Hindenburg was sworn in as Chancellor in 1925 . The only thing I can think of is that this was made by the Nazi's in an attempt to get the Veterans support for the Party (and Hindenburg's attention) and used at (maybe?) the ground-breaking ceremony when they built the Tannenberg Monument (just a guess) ...another possibility is the Ludendorf connection, he started the Tannenberg Bund ..but this pin has "Sedan" and the dates so , I don't think it's a Bund pin.Then I thought maybe it's not Party related but ..I don't think anyone in Germany would be using the Swastika as a good luck symbol in 1925 because of the connection with the Party ..so I ruled that outCould it be one of the first tinnies produced while he was re building the Party after Prison ? ..(nice to dream huh?)Have any of you ever owned one like it ...Please let me know
