    Frankentag Hesselberg 1938 tinnie

    I saw this tinnie that's maker marked "Balmberger Nürnberg" and it appears to be stamped "800". Could this be a true silver content hallmark denoting 80% silver?

    Below is a picture from Tieste's Tinnie book volume 1.

    If anyone has this badge, can you check yours and post pictures of both sides.

    Much obliged,

    Tony

      Balmberger made the "better quality" 1933 RPT badges. If you find one marked with their name you will see that the details are sharper than on many. I do wonder if they had the initial contract & subcontracted out to others.

      I'm also beguining to believe that better quality versions of tinnies were often made for the dignitaries invited to the rallys & events. If this is the case the one you write of could be a silver version intended for one of the officials or town Mayor...... Just a theory.

      Cheers

        what you think

        I managed to photograph this silver tinnie that I mentioned in my first posting.

        let me know your thoughts.
