Gau East Prussia tinnie

[Patrick W]

Here is an interesting example of the Gau East Prussia tinnie type badge. This one has cut out background and a much finer quality pin assembly than the usual tinnie pin encountered.

Here is a link that shows a couple more examples of this type of badge

The exact purpose of this type of Gau badge is still unknown but it is probably a commemorative piece

One of the things i really hoped was in Craig's book was an explanaition (or at least theory) about these badges that appear to exist for most of the Gau badges.

It's really time that some paperwork surfaces that gives an explanation about these. Let's hope something will show up in the (not too far away) future.
