How common is this particular Tinnie?
A tough question to answer. I would say the largest percentage of tinnies are quite common.
Like the vast majority of mine.
District day at Aachen, I would say common but still a well balanced design with the cathedral spires under the eagle.

Cheers
Don
Colorado and Don, thanks for sharing those.
--dj--Joe
Your date is different. I had not seen that one before. Is mine Version 1? or is yours a factory error?
I think yours was for selling "on the day", whereas mine would be the general money raiser sold perhaps throughout the month.
Cheers
Don
Joe - Happy to share. I only have a few day badges. Here is another that I kept. Like the one above, it has the visual appeal that made me want it.
It is very large for a day badge and quite heavy.
PS - Don, I kind of suspected that. In terms of value and rarity is there a difference between the two?
Jeff,
Another nice one.
Re the Thüringen, they are both difficult to find (I suspect due to their likeness to the Gau), but I haven't noticed one being more so than the other. I seem to arrive on the scene just as they've been bought by someone else
I paid $100 for mine.

After looking at all these rare tinnies from so many members no one has mentioned the guru of tinnies and WHw in Germany Reinhardt Tieste. He has out several books which IMO are the bible for collectors today and he sells also. His English is excellant and a pleasure to deal with. his URL is below have a look and I highly recommend his tinnie books
http://www.tieste.de/Paul
Here are some of the tinnies that came with a collection I purchased several years ago: This is the way I got these and frankly I don't think I've ever had them out of the tray. Sorry about the glare on this picture.
Top part of Rikker tray: What amazes me somewhat is the varying materials used.
Bottom part of Rikker tray: My own favorite is the 1933 Nurnberg and you see an example 3rd from the left bottom row. I have a couple of these.
At todays values Jim from what I can make out you have a very nice little investment there nice find.

I found all three you list plus one in TIESTE'S book two. It is Krissangerfest 30.6.1935. He lists them all in the 20-30 euro range
PAUL
Hello Paul, do you mean you have this badges? Because I look to add them into my collection. I have also one of the Tieste books, where my copys are shown in one of his books. Is there another badge that I missed? I think you mean Kreissängerfest or? Could you send a copy that I see how this badge would look?

Here is a rare and expensive one
Very nice, but that last one is not strictly a tinnie, it's a participants badge for the 1938 Reichsberufswettkampf, for which the Kreissieger, Gausieger & Reichssieger were awarded to the finalists.
I think there are several classes of tinnie but in the end they are all tinnies as TIESTE has stated in his two huge volumes.Might be a good discussion topic though what is a tinnie ?
PAUL
some of my DAF/NBSO/KdF/NS-Hago Tinnies.

Nice grouping I see you have the rare and often copied Volkswagon commemorative tinnie. Any chance of some close ups of this rare one for the record here.

sorry for the wwifue badge
Many thanks for the view the the VW tinnie. The other piece appears to be an award of some type ? Never seen it before
PAUL
thank you ! The "unknown" award is the economic leader badge. Only presented to economic leaders, like Dornier, Heinkel, Messerschmidt, Amboss, Krupp etc. (ca. 440 pieces were presented)

Nice VW tinnie, Florian, thats only the second one I've seen on any forums that I believe to be genuine, mine being the other. Its made of aluminium. Oh yes, the Economic leaders is quite nice too!

Fantastic thread. 10 years ago this kind of info was simply nor available. most of the books would have been black and white.
It sure would be helpful if you could tell us non-initiated observers what these are. Some guys have but others have not.
Dave
Dave Hohaus, guess we'll have to work on descriptions.
Most tinnies (event badges) tell a story through words and images and cover a set period in time. Others were reissued for similar events on different dates.
Some that do not say anything are anybodys guess.
Any one wish to add anything?
--dj--Joe
Dave H, that hand made tinnie is a nice piece to own. Never seen one marked that way!
Pete, I like the uncomplicated but stand out design of post #12, the SA and post #30, the Flugtag Cottbus tinnies.
Would the KdF tinnie post #35, be made of an unglazed ceramic material?
Thanks again to all, for sharing these great and interesting items!
--dj--Joe
Hi Joe, I first thought that the KdF was plaster, but upon inspection, I think its paper mache (pressmasse)
For Dave a description of post 35. The green heart. Thuringen was described as the green heart of the country, and had, presumably, nice countryside, and was evidently a favorite spot for visitors, hence the KdF (Kraft durch Freude) taking people for visits there. Now here I get a little hazy. I believe that the KdF was organised to take factory etc. workers, who could not afford proper holidays on free or subsidised vacations to different places, not only inside Germany, but abroard as well.
I dont think I'll be doing this for each tinnie!
Anyway another:- for a trip to motor show in Berlin?
Regards,
Pete
Paper mache, I never thought of that. Thanks Pete.

I have no clue about this one. Clearly it's an HJ. But, I have not yet translated the writing. Any ideas?
It is molded white plastic.
Robert, both nice pieces! SA related tinnies command a high price.
The HJ tinnie refers to a sports event for Austria.
-----------------------Sport Westkampf (
west fight), training?
Kampf must not translate well into English.
(See correction, 5 posts below).Tirol and Vorarlberg are both western states of Austria. (See attached link).

It's not "Sport Westkampf", it's "Sport wettkampfe", it means 'Sports Competition'. The design of the eagle on this white plastic badge is of the Tirolean eagle.

The strength of the eagle clutching the laurel leaves , the crest.

I post the Thüringen tinnie here again, for the next reason....
In the corner of the picture you see the official old coat of arms used in Thüringen from the Middle Ages .
The Nazis showed this old symbol in their own vision of history !! ...the old lion got a swastika.
In fact it is history-forgery........but it makes the tinnie more interesting.

Bill, thank you for your kind words.
One of my favorites……2e Bezirkssportfest Starnberg 1936. Bezirk is the neutral word for district ; it is located in (Gau) Bayern. You would expect instead of "Bezirk", the Nazi-classification word "Kreis"- Starnberg... ?
Note the difference between the birds ; a cheerful and a grave one. The left one is the crest of Starnberg, the second the nazi-eagle of the well known Deutscher Reichsbund für Leibesübungen, free translated German national league for gymnastics.

Realize the quantity of materials they used to make “just” a WHW tinnie .
- 1 an iron core,
- 2 bronze finish on the front
- 3 silver finish on the rear.

I like the perfect combination of the Artdéco eagle and the Gotic script "WHW".

I ‘ve red in the book about the KdF of Baranovski ( Robert !) that you these badges were given/sold when you took a tour with this local KdF .
I think the wavy line through the KdF- emblem below signifies the river Rine.
The crisp blue paint has come off for a part , many these tinnies have this.
Much depicted on the KdF tinnie. I never thought about the ribbon representing the river.
--dj--Joe
Kreistag der NSDAP des Siegkreises 1935. District meeting of the NSDAP of the district (of the little river ) Sieg, near Siegburg Westfalen. I love the design of the strong eagle in front holding the branches and in the background the German landscape with vinyards in the hills , medieval castles and the river with boat.
Here the picture.....
Benten, well framed design to the 1935 KREISTAG.
This was my last pickup. Not sure if an example is posted on the preceding pages or not.
SKAGERAK 1916 / KIEL-LABOE 1936.
Obverse.
Reverse.
Interesting badge Joe.
It depicts the Marines memorial in Laboe ( Kiel ) of WW1 ( first stone in 1927 ), erected for the fallen marines and sailors.
Your tinnie has the date 1916 ; it is concerning WW1 the seebattle Germans against the Brittons at Skagerrak in 1916.
The second date of your tinnie….. ( 31mai ) 1936…. it was inaugurated again in the Third Reich . Later in wartime it was also a memorial for WW2 marines and sailors. It is 85m high ; that is very high!
Benten
Here some pictures………
a close picture..........
Benten, thank you for posting the pictures and the info., it is indeed an interesting, inspired structure.
It brings to my mind images of a sail and a prow cutting through the water.
I see a U-boat in the first image.
--dj--Joe
One of my favourite tinnies……….
The “Brigade Aufmarsch 45 , 24 Juni 1934 “. This meeting was a few days before the Night of the long knives.
The SA was on top of it’s power.
They became a threat to the NSDAP. In the weekend of the Night of the long knives , most of the SA topmen were killed by the NSDAP.
As far as I know a brigade is a very large military unit, the SA were not the soldiers of the nation ( that was the Wehrmacht) , but they used the term ” brigade”.

Maker : "Danner Mühlhausen ( Thur ) . City of Mülhausen in Thüringen , in the centre of Germany.

Thanks Joe; I appreciate your reply.
Here another tinnie ; Reichsparteitag 1935. After the struggle of 1934 (Röhmputsch)....... The symbolism on this tinnie NSDAP, SA and Wehrmacht are depicted. I see on this tinnie the symbolism of consolidation of the Wehrmacht and Sa under the power of the NSDAP. Now they (NSDAP) have won all the power. All under the wings of the NSDAP Adler (Eagle).
This tinnie has it's original color....braun finish.

Is that OK Joe, my fingers are tired, more later.
Regards,
Pete
Pete, thank you! You certainly did have some to share.
I saw quite a few that I would deem myself lucky to own.
I for one appreciate seeing all you have posted and the effort that goes with posting them.
Regards,--dj--Joe
One of my favorites is the 1933 RPT Badge
Another cool tinnie
Erich, thank you! Much appreciated, I like the Düsseldorf piece!
--dj--Joe
I wish more collectors who appreciate tinnies would speak up! It has to be disheartening to go to all the effort to copy,size and post and then recieve one or two comments then nothing more.
--dj--Joe
a real one finally
reverse
probable RAD traditions badge

Yes definitly OK, I was tempted by this one myself. But he who hesitates.....
Regards,
Pete
Sorry Joe, I've been getting lazy of late.
Very nice Gentlemen.
Erich, I love the Schlageter, never tire of seeing it.....
Cheers
Don
Don, as much as you contribute, never a need for penitence! My comments were not pointed in your direction nor in the direction of any of our consistent contributors.
Regards, --dj--Joe
These started as Tinnies but later became official awards.
29 RPT. The Treffen badge is a later zinc Assmann.
Erich, thanks for posting both nice pieces!
Here is my zinc 31 Treffen badge. Painted a dark grey (same color as the tank on my 25 PAB).
--dj--Joe
Obv.
The obverse may be a tad over sharpened but it was either that or under sharpened.
Reverse, The M1/17 mark is there but I can not get it to show and maintain the color.
--dj--Joe
Thanks Joe, My badge has the same markings as yours on the reverse. Best, Erich
What was it for?
EARLY tinnie
Barker, thanks for sharing. I still do not know what the first one is for. The second is a first time see for me. Sonnwende = summer equinox festival. Usually spelled out Sonnenwende.
--dj--Joe
Well, the winged wheel is something to do with the Reichsbahn and the feather (pen?) is probably for writing (Beamten?) A German member may recognise the church/townhall whatever, and so give us a possible location. Though the towers look Eastern in style. Any makers name/mark?
The second is a nice early piece and Joe said it all.
Regards,
Pete
I think the towers are Munich. Photo of maker mark.
Yup, you'r right. Just checked Tiestes books, and the towers are on other Munich tinnies. Can't find this one in there at the moment. It's not under Munich or in the unknown section. However he has only 12,500 or so listed and I have a few not in there, so it must be a little unusual perhaps. Odd pin with the protcective loop broken/missing from the end, or is it just bent?
Regards,
Pete
Pin is all there, just bent at a 90 to the badge. looks like it was done to make it easier to fasten.
Common Tinnie, uncommon modification. Anyone ever seen this modification? Vet pickup so "almost" has to be TR period modification.
Back
I've not seen split rivets done before.
For attaching to a belt?
--dj--Joe
Locking this thread. 16 pages are a bit much to scroll through.
Besides it's getting on in age and may eventually corrupt and fail.
Please continue on at this link.

--dj--Joe
Content should be saved for now.Let that read 15 pages, I had to delete a number of linked images that were no longer with us.
1933, Sonnenwende Zeitenwende Bergisch Land. This is a heavy badge and ca 4,8cm high.
Material brass colored.
I suppose this badge rare?
Benten
All nice examples.
The 42 is interesting.
--dj--Joe
Nobody ??
Other than without a doubt a period piece. RAD like you state. I have not seen or read of one before.
Nice tinnie. Thanks for showing it. I hope someone has knowledge of it.
--dj--Joe
I think it could also be FAD related.
Hi Joe, thanks for your reply.
Benten
Great Tinnies love the SA ones thanks guys
Bring backs from Italy
Pendant
JRM,,, your 1st one looks like it might be for a photo album cover [?] The 2nd,,years ago some fakes/fantasies had the spelling like that so that probably isn't good.
I did not purchase either they were in a plastic bag with a NSDAP political flag stamped Napoli (Naples).
All three were brought back by my grandfather.
Adolph is a Latin variant so probably produced in Italy.
I think the flag was produced for Hitlers visit in 1938 (He boarded a battleship in Napoli)
