Wangerooge is the easternmost barrier island of the East Frisian Islands. This badge commenorates a Lighthouse that dated from 1602. Blown up early in WW1 (December 1914), it was rebuilt in 1933 and served as a dormitory for Hitler Youth and continues as a youth hostel to the present.

The history of the original lighthouse but unfortunately (for me) it's all in German:

Reds, both nice looking tinnies. I do not recall ever having seen either till now. They both appear to be sports related as both show the DRL/NSRL eagle. They refer to a lower district meet and a district festival.

Reds, you are welcome. The eagle is an emblem for the DRL/NSRL organization. I have attached an example of a lapel pin.

Ian, I can pin it to the top (feature it). Not sure that will save it for posterity. Smile It is getting dangerously close to the end of it's days if we lose any more posts.
If all are in agrement I can Start a new title like Day Badges/Tinnies thread #1 and transfer all content to it. Only lose the first post that way. I hesitate because the last one I attempted got scrambled, but I think I know what I did wrong. Roll Eyes Worth a shot?

Barker, Reference your Nierstein tinnie.

This tinnie displays the sun shinning down on the famous vineyards of Nierstein. Which is a city in the Rheinhessen region of Germany famous for its wines and sunshine. It's known as the "Land of a Thousand Hills" with a thousand years of tradition in growing wine. Their is a summer wine fest held in Nierstein every year in June. Hope this helps a little.

"Marine-Standarte 2, Sachsen 3.6.34, Skagerrak-Feier"

...there also exists a similar all-over silver-coloured tinnie, I prefer this one that has the addition of the red colour...

Smile Actually Efoplast is what is stamped on mine. Is Nitroplast the same material from a different maker?

The few that I own have been shown before so not sure if these have but will give it a go.

This one has been posted a few times, an oldie but anyway one of my favorites.
The 1933 dated Trier Cross, with the seamless robe of Christ in the center. 1933 was one of the few times the robe was brought out for public viewing. 1996 I believe was the last time it was displayed for public viewing which was the time I viewed it.

Gents,

Here's a rare little unit that I picked up for a good friend of mine who's interested and collects German fishery items. This is the first time I've ever seen a TR tinnie that's directly related to that field.

This decoration celebrates the 950th anniversary
of the Bergheim fishing-brotherhood.

Does anyone have any other fishing-related goodies? Smile

Best regards!

Bill

OH boy, there must be a lot of different tinies out there. I picked these up yesterday, and I scrolled down all the pages finding only two of them shown – “die SAAR” & “Jugendfest”. Maybe derjager would be so kind and help me with the value and a little history Smile This small group came to Denmark with a nurse working in Germany before the war.

Stengaard, there are indeed numerous tinnies. Smile
Could we see a reverse shot of your find?

I know next to nothing about current values. Would anyone wish to give an appraisal?

Stengaard, thanks. See something new everyday. Smile Never saw a pin retaining set up like the example on the Nordmark-Treffen tinnie.
The stick pin is a Life Saving association proficiency badge, DLRG. (Deutschen Lebensrettungsgesellschaft). I can not make out the wording at the top for which level proficiency badge. These were for swimming.

Woody, no idea on the last one you posted.

Dave, your tinnie is part of a series I believe. If I recall the same rune, backward swas. comes in different colors. I don't have a shot at present of the set.

The HJ FHH badge is one of my favorites. Some think it may have been an actual award rather than a tinnie.

hi,,,the pin with the reversed swastika is an old gemanic symbol used by the lombards,in the 6th century,,,here is a history of the lombards,,,The Langobards (or Lombards) were a Germanic tribe that began in southern Sweden and worked their way down into Italy by the 6th century. There they established permanent German rule in Italy, but became Italians in the process and gave their name to the northern Italian region of Lombardia. This movement from Sweden to Italy was gradual, taking some four centuries.

When the Lombards --whose original name, Langobards, refers to their long beards-- descended on Italy in the 6th century, they had to deal with several earier waves of German invaders (particularly the Goths) as well as the resurgent Eastern Romans (who were a power in Italy into the 8th century). However, twenty years after the last of the Eastern Romans were expelled from Italy (751 AD), the Lombards were stomped by the better organized Franks. This was, technically, the end of the Lombard kingdom in Italy. But it also marked the completion of the Germanization of Italy. The Lombards, unlike earlier Germans, had not maintained the ancient Roman forms of government during their domination of the Peninsula, not did the Lombard duchies which survived the Frankish onslaught in the South. The political landscape of Italy was given a German overlay by the Lombards. While everyone eventually spoke Italian and became Catholic, Italy became another Germanic area.

Perhaps most importantly, the Lombards got involved in political arguments with the Pope, and this was what caused the papacy to call upon the Franks for aid. The papacy was a prize every Medieval magnate wanted to possess. But the popes knew that they could not long survive if they were the creature of one king or emperor. The Moslems had conveniently removed the authority of the Eastern Roman emperor from Italy (with a little help from the Lombards), but someone was needed to keep the Germans in Italy (and elsewhere) from controlling the papacy. For several centuries the protector of the papacy became the Franks (and later the French). Out of all this came a papacy that became an arbiter of Medieval politics. While the papacy controlled extensive lands in central Italy, the pope was never much of a temporal power. The papacy created a balance of power between the various German kings that provided the Church an independance it would never had if there were an effective Roman, or Holy Roman, Emperor.

The last remnanst of Lombard independence in Italy, the numerous duchies which they had established in the south, eventually fell to the Normans , who had originally come into southern Italy to serve as mercenaries for the Lombard dukes.

I appreciate both of you gents posting your tinnies. I've had my eye on a couple for some time, just waiting for prices to fall within my reach or to win some lottery. wink
Mikee, my first impression from your image is Tirol. Not sure though. Must enlist some help.

I'm not convinced that they are Tirol eagles, the top one maybe but certainly not the bottom.

I can't find any similar badges in any of my references either...

Sorry

this was under salt water. Rough looking when I first found it. A bit of cleaning and I managed to save it..
IF I didn't get to Aluminum pieces right away they corroded very fast and would become dust! I got this one stable.
Could use a touch more cleaning and I'll be happy with it. It's nice on the large size piece [about a US silver dollar size].

Thanks Joe for info and valuation...,G.

I've not seen the last one you show before. Is it a small pin? It is interesting.

Hopefully, we will get some comments on your other items.

John, the two shields are part of a 7 piece set of Reichs (National) level WHW donation pins sold 25-26 Oct. 1941. They represent ancient Germanic shields. Each had a colored stone in the center. Missing on yours. Your examples on the reverses - Norman, Thuringian.
