SS Tinnie

[RaymondG]

Hi

I have this SS tinnie and wonder if any members can tell me more about it.

I think it is genuine, though I have not seen one like it before (perhaps I have not tried too hard).

If it is a fake or fantasy item, the fakers seem to have done a pretty good job. Maybe someone can comment as to its authenticity

Thanking you in advance

Raymond

Hi found one in my collection too with the same maker regards tomas

Hi

Thanks to Mike and Tomas for their comments.

I thought it would be a good idea to write the makers mark for other forum members - Carl Peter - Schmalkalden. Clearly a local maker to supply the local event with the tinnies.

The tinnie was given to me by a friend and collector who most generously put it in a parcel with some items that I had bought from him.

Thanks again

Raymond

Hi Raymond,

Craig has one for sale, please see here. Its been there for some time .

http://www.craiggottlieb.com/data/in...rman+Militaria

Heres hes description of it.
"....This badge would have been sold to SS members who attended and took part in an SS Sporting/Marksmanship competition held by the 57. SS Standarte, based in the city of Schmalkalden in the state of Thüringen..."

IMO the price is a bit steep for me, else i would have bought it as it goes along with this tinnie i just got

BTW:- If you ever want to sell it, please give me a ring






Cheers,
Ibrahim,

SS Tinnie

I`ve had some rare SS tinnies in my collection and I do`nt believe I`ve ever paid more than $250.00 for even the rarest. This tinnie is fairly common as far as SS tinnies go. I just recently bought one on estand for $165.00 and another from a different site for $155.00. The several others I`ve seen are all going or have sold at around this price.

Hi

Great detective work, Ibrahim.

To be honest, I have never asked about the price and I am not really interested in what they go for as it was a gift from a collecting friend and so it will stay with me. I am just glad that I have the piece.

It does seem a scarce one given the number of people who have responded and if I saw the same one for sub $200 then I would buy it without a second thought. I have never collected SS tinnies, but if the prices are sub-$200, then I may well start as they are pretty cool items.

Thanks for all your help

Raymond
