Swastika Free Tinnies

[Fred Borgmann]

As a collector of Imperial and pre-Nazi German medals I have never been too hot for tinnies. Even so I would like to share a few that I have acquired over the years with you before I dispose of them. Starting at top left: Hessian Life Dragoon Regt No.24 which was a Darmstadt unit. German South Army, Carpathian Watch 1914-1915. Sonthofen Mountain artillery and Jaeger Battalions day 13-14, Sept. 1924 featuring St. Barbara. Hannover Regiments day for the v. Scharnhorsters (10<SUP>th</SUP> Artillery Regt.) 12, June 1927. Darmstadt monument dedication to the Hessian Artillery and their Dead 3, July 1927. Erfurt Thuringian Foot Artillery Regt. 18 Regimental Appell 21-23, May 1927. Cologne 3<SUP>rd</SUP> Waffentag of the German Field Artillery 1934 As usual any comments on rarity, value or interesting facts are always welcome. Thanks Fred

Fred,

Very nice collection! I used to have an example of the Darmstadt Hessian artillery one, and a friend told me back then that the monument is still in Darmstadt, though the grenade has been broken off. I'll try to find out more.

Thanks for showing!
