SA Tinnie
It's funny - I used to have a badge exactly like this, but I can't remember if the writing said the same thing. Mine was more of a natural darker brass color. In other words, it looked like most early brass tinnies that look brown. This is either an example that hasn't tarnished, or it's been replated. -
Good tinny but has been treated with something and shined up,
the original finish is a darker bronze

thanks martin ..i can see traces of the original finnish on your example that almost matches the finnish on mine , i now think that this is the original finnish of these badgesLast edited by SLIM; 05-15-2010, 02:31 PM.Comment

Hello Lionel, now that SA Badge took some finding !!!Originally posted by SLIM View Post
.........although your example appears to have been polished I am quite sure that if you leave it out of a display case so to expose it to oxygene it will develope a patina. However it may take a good few years before it will take on a Bronze appearance

Hello Lionel, omfg
as you know the Adolf Hitler Mein Kampf SA Brigade 36 is a stunning example and is a valuable badge and scarce to find. I have only ever come across two.

Here is my example of the SA Brigade 36 Plauen tinnie - the picture is not the best and it's rusty on the back - I always photograph my tinnies on a cardboard box with a cutout for the pin so it lies flat

Kind of digressing from the title of your original post!
