Posted By: Addyfie a few miniature pins for review please - 02/20/2011 11:14 PM
Hey guys i have 4 small pins i know nothing about i think they are miniatures they are really small, im just curious as to originality and if they are quite common or not? i think 2 of them are SA sports badges or something no idea as to what the other 2 are, although for such small items the detail is really good. I know the photos arent the best so i have incuded 1 with flash and 1 without.

All opinions welcomed
Kind regards Adam

Hi Adam! Nice minis! Above shot; Yes thats in the middle a silver and bronze (I think? Could be gold, but, you decide??) SA Wehrabzeichen stickpin. On the right, I dunno, looks like a RAD membership pin, but, isnt, it has no cogwheel motiv, so, reckon its an early NSDAP Supporter pin, very nice find. Is it silver? Orr .. ? The eagle stickipn, looks like an early NSDAP or SA membership or also supporter pin? Its the early eagle, no? Its not the SA Reserve stickpin, not HAGO membership, theres no words or letters or numbers, so, Id say also supporter. Great these!

Bye,
KR

Hi Karin
Thanks for your reply im glad you like them, im not to sure on the sa sportsbadge i think its gold although im not the best with colours the mrs seems to think its gold in color too, regarding the one with the eagle it has a mark on the back i will post a pic of it now ive got a bit of sunlight, the one with the big swas in the middle could be silver i dont know it appears to have had something stuck to the swas at some stage but im not sure its really hard to get a good pic of it as its so small, my new cameras macro isnt very good.

Kind Regards
Adam

Ha ha yes we have eye for shiny expensive things Adam But, yes, it surely LOOKS like gold, bronze is way more dull, and brown'ish? If it IS gold, its not a cheapo one! And also, your round swastika pin? Hope it will stay there but is it like this? I think it is! That also is not cheap! I love the back of the eagle, that looks spot on Assmann with that A, no?? Wow! That 4 pins look better by the minute

Hi again Karin
Thanks for your reply i think you are spot on with the round swastika pin it looks almost identical to the one you have shown above i have tried to find a gold sa sports pin for referance but can only find silver and bronze ones, the guy who i me these 4 had quite a few mini pins for sale so will try and do a bit of homework on them for next time i go, although they werent expensive and if any end up being repros he will refund me. He also had a coin and a badge that he said were really rare and when i have looked for any referance about it there is really limited infomation on it all i know is its from the Danish national socialists party i will post a few pics just curious if you have seen anything similar.I know the last pic isnt great but the red enamel looks great
Regards Adam

Got one Adam, here! Sure looks like yours? The coin, I dont know, only that Denmark was occupied on april 9 1940? So, your coin, could have something to do with Denmark getting National Socialist? Whats it say? "aprel" or "appel?" The 1st, is "april" in Danish, that could be? But, the 2nd, you will find so much info on here! Surely must be rare that, cant find much quickly! And the enamel pin, truly wouldnt know either Adam sorry? Ill need to dig thru some catalogs, and will let you know .. could be anything, your seller know if its Danish too maybe? Still, really looks pretty awesome, nice little radiant outward lines from the center!

Thanks for the info Karin you really are a wealth of infomation, the coin says appel as far as i can make out! i thought it said aprel but it doesnt i will post a closer up pic of it, and when i have just had a look at the link you posted above for me i have found the date on the coin "17. november 1940 Mindeappel i Forum, Kbh. November 1940 Memorial Board in Forum, Copenhagen" whatever that means? I quite like it myself think its pretty cool, the guy who has it for sale says the red swastika thing came with the coin and together make a group, he is under the impression there arent to many of these out there and said i may struggle to find out anything about it.

Thanks again for your efforts Karin
Kind regards Adam

YES! OK, we have a perfect fit then, here the Danmarks Nationalsocialistiske Arbejderparti logo, which is your pin! So, another goodlooking supporterpin! I think THIS has very much to do with your november coin. Very good site that. Found some books at Jstor and Google Books, you can see these without login in I think, nothing found yet for that date november 17, but, might! Still, your seller, looks to be correct
