Hi guys, I was offered this lot of tinnies and really have no clue what I'm looking at. Any help with identification and possible rarity would be greatly appreciated.

I know this is the wrong section but does anyone know what this medal is?Comment

Hi Wyatt,
Your most recent posting appears to be a 60th anniversary commemorative token from a hunting/shooting association; the inscription surrounding the design on the obverse declares: "Honors and gratification follow upon a good shot" -- probably the motto of this Jager association.

Nothing rare. They are all pretty common except for the shooting medal, and I doubt that there will be a great deal of a collectors value in that.
The best one is the M. Gladbach (München Gladbach) book value 25 Euro.

Just to add the name of the hunting/shooting association: "Schützenverein Beuster und Umgebung"

Hi Wyatt 1939!
Post 1 very common (part of a set of three) zinc WHW badges entitled "symbols of honour" not sure of year of issue round about 1937-38?
and a Gau Dusseldorf WHW 37/38 donation badge.
Post 2 SA tinnie for 1939, plus a Veterans badge? which I am not really sure about - but looks really good!
And a DAF members stickpin which is in good condition.
Post 3 NSBO tinnie 1933/34, and a 1st of May 1938 tinnie, also quite common.
Post 5 1938 Shooting Club tinnie.
Nothing "ultra rare", but the Vet badge looks high quality, the shooting club badge is probably next in the desirability stakes; followed by the SA tinnie.
Worth maybe a a group around about $100 on a dealers website.
The Veterans badge makes this hard to reckon - never seen this item before, may boost the price; I just do not know!
Best wishes,
John.

The veterans' organization membership badge in #2 represents the Stahlhelm Bund in its incarnation after being assimilated into the SA in 1934, where it lost its former identity. It is a common piece, thought every collector of Stahlhelm Bund memorabilia should own at least one!
My favorite among your collection is the NSBO event badge celebrating the consecration of new banners on behalf of the local unit of the factory workers' organization, taking place in October of 1938 in the North Rhine-Westphalian city of Mönchengladbach. A very nicely-stamped piece.

National-Sozialstischer Deutscher Frontsoldatenbund Stahlhelm 1934-1935...
From 1918-1936, a front soldiers organization.
Later became the SA-Reserve.

Thank you very much guys! This has been very helpful. I focus solely on helmets and combat badges so this is new territory. I hope to get them all plus some other items.Comment
