Small lot of tinnies

[Berra]

Any thoughts on these?

All came from the same source so I am 100% sure they are ok not sure which are WHW and whats not

My guess would be that all in the first picture are party badges (Exept the DRA badges) and in the second picture all but the pins and the NSLB are WHW,correct?

Thanks

No actually you have some orginizational badges in pic 2. How about a closeup and reverse shot of the VDA honour badge. There are some uncommons spritzed in there. Thanks for showing.

The 50 Year and the leaders pin are both firsts for me. Tinnies I think not! In actuality, my Husken edition only lists a 25 year. Now I wonder aloud how long VDA has been/had been in existence and if is still in existence. Time to search. And the monetary values assigned to the leader pin is quite high as well as the 25 year pin. Thanks for letting me see these. Happy New Year.

I am discovering that VDA was reestablshed in 1955 in Bavaria so perhaps this is the reason why there is no 50 year in Husken? VDA was formed in late 19th century. Wikipidia has a nice little article.

Thanks for some great info!

Regarding the VDA items: I hate to do decrease the value of my own items but the person that were the original owner of these item married a Swedish man in 1938 and moved with him to Sweden the same year.

Just so eveything gets correct
1-??
2-50 Year honour badge
3-VDA member pin
4-VDA member pin
5-Leader badge

Happy New Year to everyone!

I beleive number one is the first pattern membership badge. The round small ones being the second pattern. Others please correct me if I'm wrong as this is from memory. This is the only VDA pin I have.

Does anyone know what was the criteria for the Führerabzeichen ?

[jabnus]

Huesken prices are usually only good for a laugh. Think his 1995 (!) prices are what todays standards are...

Ahrg yes i thought so but you never know :-)

Still wondering about the criteria for receiving the Führerabzeichen ?
