    Very interesting, Bob; I never would have identified Schaub as #3 in that photo. Can you share any other pix of Schaub from 1921-23 for comparison? Also, thanks for that fine color photo of Schaub in SS white tie eveningwear, apparently at a concert or an opera, perhaps at Wagner's Festspielhaus in Bayreuth -- the kind of casual pix I like to see!

      Actually it is in the salon of the Führerbau in München - the wooden wall decoration (Wandpaneele) visable in the background was in the auction at Hermann Historica.

      Schaub and the others are sitting in typical luxurious wooden chairs manufactured in the Vereingte Werkstätten in München - this firm was responsible for almost every important TR- and NSDAP building, especially when it was personally used by Hitler.

      At the wall in the back you can see one of the typical lamps especially designed for TR- and NS-buildings as well made of brass, glass and bronze in this case - a product of the famous but mostly unknown artist Franz Hägele from Berlin.

        It's hard to make out but is Schaub wearing his Coburg badge?

          Here's one more photo that I have from Coburg. It's hard to make out who is who in this one.

            Here's the article relating to Josef Berchtold from the Illustrierter Beobachter 45/1935. The text says he held the "CZ, BO, EZ". But it's hard to tell from this photo if he's actually wearing a Coburg Badge.

            Odd that he wouldn't appear on the recipients list if he actually held the award. But maybe somebody at the IB just thought he did, and so listed him, without checking his facts...

              Very interesting Jeff, from the photo he dosn't look like he's wearing the CB. If he did not receive the badge, I wonder what the reason could have been for not receiving the badge due to the fact that he was at the event?

                  After looking at this photo, it looks like our friend Koerner is right behind the dog.

                    Since the discussion centers on the Coburg badge and the march, I thought I would add some ancillary collectibles.

                    Though she was not in the march in 1922, Lina Peschel lived in Coburg on Kanonenweg. And after the march, she joined the party in her early 40s. She was an Altparteigenossin and received GPB 6183. Here is one of three letters sent by respective Political Leaders to her on her 60th birthday. This one from the Kreisleiter of Kreisleitung Coburg.



                    She also received letters from her Gauleiter, Fritz Wachtler, and her Ortsgruppenleiter of Coburg-Nord. I had Peschel's GPB Besitzurkunde at one time but traded it off as a favor to a long-time friend to secure a GPB Besitzurkunde to match a GPB in his collection.

                      A very nice and a historical letter and thanks for adding it to the thread Joe!

                        Erich, were there any differences in the editions of the book "Kampf um Coburg"? My 4th edition was printed in 1943. Seems to have been a popular book.

                          Still had to come by. I wish I had kept my copy.

                            Joe, as far as I know there were no differences in the different editions of the book.

                            I feel for you Andreas!

                              My copy of "Kampf um Coburg" is the 3rd printing from 1941 (17,000 - 26,000 copies printed). There are 256 pp., plus a 16 pp. photo section. I don't think this book was ever changed from the first printing.

                              Usually when a period book is substantially changed, you will see a note on the title page like "Neubearbeitung" or " neue erweiterte Ausgabe" or something similar to that. Sometimes there will actually be a new Foreword explaining the changes.

                              Erich, I have to disagree with your id on the guy behind the dog in your most recent photo posting - I think that's Ulrich Graf again. His mustache was bigger than Koerner's, and Koerner always appears more dapper than the man here....

                                Jeff, I agree with you that it's Graf after taking a closer look. Best, Erich
