Thanks Greg;
I snapped some better pics of the pin. The pin on mine is not soldered about halfway up from the bottom. I cannot tell if this is a manufacturing error or partial damage since it was made.

Steve,
Yes that's what the other one that I had seen looked like. An unusual pin for a "tinnie," but in my humble experience I've seen several different types of pins and attachments on these 1933 badges. They got it down to a neater system after that, I guess.

My favorites out of this bunch ... one from 1933 and one from 1939.

The 1933 badge is also by Balmberger. They must have just about cornered the market on badges for the local Nürnberg events.

Is the 1939 badge any rarer because the Rally was not actually held that year (on account of the war starting)?

[John Bart]

Some of these are really nice! I've never looked at them before!

Here are my two.

Hi George,
Yes, I agree. Fantastic designs!

George,
Good point. I would think you are right. Now that you mention it, you don't see quite as many 1939's. The market premium isn't all that much higher though on these.
