While all of these are from my questionable pile and were purchased in lots, with other good pieces. I always considered the 3 on the right to most likely be good.is the oblong pin plates theory a 100% thing. I got lucky and went through 40 some party pins and had none that had the oblong pin plates. So i was happy after studying this some of the earlier posts. Because I enjoy the variations of the NSDAP party pins. I would lay them all out on the scanner, but they are in a shadow box and a pain to take back out. And get set back in straight.
This has been a very educational part of the Tinnies & Political Badges Forum and I have read posts some going back to 2006. So I thank all of you for the help and to all of those that question Angolia and Foremans and the enamel book, I have found errors in all of them, they used what they had to work with at the time. But I have had a question from another thread, has any one found errors in Tieste's books. Because i have not. That does not mean they are not there. He seems to be real good at what he does and all of the people I have mentioned are assets to the hobby.
