[Elvis]

Any idea on what they are? I picked up a few other things as well. These were all vet bring backs and the person never collected. Pic 1

[Elvis]

wasn't sure where to put this stuff...

[Elvis]

[Rick Research]

Got so many, hard to remember.

You may have just Lucked Out BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!


2) DJ sports badge for the under 14 boys

3) Austrian Anschluss supporter pin

4) lapel badge of an NSFK member


1929 Reichs Parteitag badge and after 1933 OFFICIAL DECORATION -- this one you need to do closeups front and back in the Political Forum, because if good it is $$$$$$$$

6) sleeve badge for an armband for a Game Warden

7) too dark to see, but if that's your second scan, Wehrmacht 4 years service medal.

then...


3rd scan--

1) 1932 HJ Potsdam Rally Badge-- again, after 1933 an official HJ "Honor Badge" and worth some $$$. (I knew an attendee here in town-- the only member of the Mexican Hitler Youth present! )

The unfinished EK and mommie's cross will get you PLENTY of $$ offers too!


Eagles, eagles...

Elvis,

I appreciate the picture of the unfinished EK since it is a very good example of the manufacturing process. Clearly shows the three indentations were the upper and the lower press part are lined up. Will use this the next time the famous die flaw will be discussed and somebody( ) comes up again with the coin production theory! Thanks for the pictures!

I added some closeups to the political forum. I thought they were all going to be cheapies.

Thanks for the help,
Erik

ps: there was another unfinished EK There.

It is interesting to see that Mother Crosses were enameled before cut out!

Isn´t that quite risky, because the cut out process might give the surface enough tension for the enamel to crack?

[Elvis]

Oh and I should have told you the wehrmacht medal has a 12 on the back.


Thanks guys,
Erik

PM me if this is totally tired material, but I'm curious as to what is meant by the "coin production theory"..

Thanks,
