UBB.threads Forums Uniform & Accessories Medals & Badges of the Third Reich Forum SS Tinnies in 1936 Catalogue

Hi All:

I came across a catalogue ca. 1936 in the National Archives from the Nuremberg awards manufacturing company of L. Chr. Lauer. Thought some might be interested in seeing the page advertising their SS tinnies.

Enjoy!

Hi Ross,

Thanks much for the very intriguing sketches of
this company’s artistic ideas of their potential offerings.

Much appreciation and thanks very much for your continued sharing.

*John, you kind of answered my question without my asking!!
*"potential" ,,So to the best of your knowledge these never came to be?

*Ross, Saw this on the other forum and PMed you about what other items were in the catalog. I have heard they manufactured rings and was wondering if there were any in the catalog?

Thanks for showing the page here,,looking forward to seeing more! , thanks ,G.

Hi All:

Didn't see any rings in the catalogue Gaspare, but there are many, many types of pins. Here is a series of most of the rest of the NSDAP items that I recorded.

Enjoy!

more....

and more...

even more....

still more....

they keep coming....

and more again....

Man I was energetic this morning...

still more of these things...

And here is the cover....As I mentioned, there are many pages of shooting medals, sports badges, etc. This is all from microfilm, so the original is buried I suppose over in the Berlin Document Center. I have found some incredible stuff recently which gets me off the trail of SS number research, but I like to give back to forum members as well. And you might be interested to know that I found SS Dienstalterslistes that are not covered by The Key. More about them later.

Enjoy!

Doug:

The Dienstalterslistes are for October 1942, October 1943, May 1943, and January 1944. I am in the process of digitally copying them as well as all of the others covered by the The Key.

Ross, thanks very much for looking and posting the rest of the related pins.
Seems some were produced [as I recognize or had at one time] and some just proposed I guess..Really nice designs on some,,very interesting. Thanks again.,G.

Ross you are a real asset to all us collectors with all the research that you share. Thanks again!

Excellent contribution. Many thanks for your help.

Hi Ross,

Thank you for posting this interesting thread.
Ive got a question though, could you post better picture of the Deutchland Erwache tinnie in one of your post ?

Ive always been interested in these type of tinnie. http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=243129

Hello there,

Might be interesting if any members have one of the actual tinnies to show.

William Kramer

Good thought William. Anybody with examples?

--dj--Joe

Let's try once more. Any examples?

--dj--Joe

Long time since I posted on GDcom , here are a couple with the relevant mark of Lauer.

Thanks for posting the images of the badges, very much appreciated.

Obverse.

--dj--Joe
Reverse.

Ross, would really enjoy seeing more items from the Lauer catalog if you have the time. Were there any organizational pins included?

Regards,--dj--Joe

Thought this thread a good one to review.

--dj--Joe

Thanks for bringing this one back up to the surface Joe, I must have seen it at the time but do not recall it....

2008 ! yeah!!

- OK, so Johns post still very interesting.. Here it is below:

" Thanks much for the very intriguing sketches of this company�s artistic ideas of their potential offerings."


- I don't think it was 100% clarified,, - so now 25 years later!!,,,were these drawings of items actually made??

Looking again at them I don't think that they are designs for tinnies, but non-portables or plaques of some sort. The heading at the top of the pages with the SS items says "Entwürfe für Plaketten" - Designs for plaques... Unfortunately the writing under that is too small for me to see. However on the pages with the "other" tinnies the heading is "Fest Abzeichen" which I would expect for what we call tinnies...

Don

I wonder what they meant by "Natural size"? I don't see a scale.
I can't read the smaller print either. Something like "These designs are my own stylish property" then my eyes fuzzed over.

--dj--Joe

I would say that "Natural size" means that the size of the image depicted in the catalogue would be the actual size of the plaque/badge.

We may be missing something since we can't make out the fine print under "Entwürfe für Plaketten" Natürliche Größe" as "Fest Abzeichen" Natürliche Größe" has no fine print, and they all appear similar (to me), in size on the pages.

I don't have many references that cover day/event badges so I doubt if a search from my end will find any of the pictured pieces from the four pages under "Entwürfe für Plaketten" Natürliche Größe".

I have one example of a small, cased non-portable event badge (not from the catalog), but I do not recall seeing many small non-portables. Does anyone have any (or similar) examples from the catalog to show?

--dj--Joe

You have a point there Joe. Non-portables tend to be of a similar size to each other, +/- a centimeter or two, so maybe the "natural size" just indicates that they would be of the size one would expect plaques to be & not the size of the image in the catalogue???
