Berchtesgaden pin

[WalterB]

Just an addition....

I found this model chalet on the fleamarket . It reminded me of the chalet that AH rented on the Obersalzberg, end of the twenties.

This miniature chalet is from the seventies and bought in Bayreuth ( Germany) ;
I think it's for tourists.
I love the stones and wood on the roof

Very nice walking stick pin and chalet!! Goes very nicely all together. Very cool. Does the chalet have any markings as to who made it or when? I like it very much! I have often seen pictures and paintings of chalets like this one and have wondered why they have stones on the roof. Any idea why?

Hi WalterB. Thank you for the complement. I like this chalet too .
The chalet is from about the seventies and has no marks. It very quick tourist-
made .
Just an Estolin AH- puppet in Lederhose and the Alpen scene should be complete

As far as I kow...and I hope I'm right I think the stones and wood on the roof are for making the roof heavy for protection of blowing off by the wind and for keeping the snow there, because a heavy snow package could fall down at once. Now they have long small fence on the roof to regulate the snow.

Couldn't find a proper forum for this, maybe a case for a "misc" TR sub-forum.

Picked this up today in a small, truly out of the woodwork collection, thought I'd share as it is a lovely piece I have not seen before.
A hunting/nature theme includes a rifle, elk, leaves, acorns and Edelweiss. No markings at all, I rather think that this is likely a privately produced work with a very limited run, probably meant for souvenir hunters of the era, paying homage to AH.
If anyone has any info on this little beauty, please share.

How did you, in your wildest imagination, come up with this?

The Garmisch pin was found in a 1930's cigarette tin box along with the remnants of a Kriegsmarine dagger handle, a KM eagle, a dried up edelweiss, some sea shells and an EK2 converted into Knight's Cross. This is one of those things that keeps me wondering about it's history...

Wait a minute! Are those seashells attributed to Admiral Dönitz?

Edelweiss on watch chain. Alpine theme.

Ah, no. Never claimed any such thing. But it is par for the course for you to contribute absolutely zero and simply criticize.

Very nice Don! The Edelweiss is pressed between two pieces of glass, wow, very neat!

Some humor you have.

Some humor you have.

Ok, sorry. Hard to figure out the spirit in which a comment is made sometimes.
