Thanks Don . I do have the Angolia one, but I will look up the other 2 you suggested. What I am looking for is ( if it exists ), a book on just political badges, SA and NSDAP pins and tinnies.

I also have Nazi Regalia that does contain some, but have never come across that book dedicated just for these items. There are so many, especially tinnies that a good book listing them with a brief history and rarety, would be a fantastic reference.

Unfortunately there isn't one that does the lot, you have to have several books to cover the full spectrum. For Tinnies, Manions has a 4 volume set (see here for the covers http://www.wehrmacht-awards.net/foru...hlight=manions ) & Tieste also has printed some. If I remember correctly, I believe that you already have Cone which covers the enamels. Littlejohn & Dodkins is a gem of a set, but difficult to find & sometimes expensive as it's out of print, but I would not be with out them.
