Your on a roll now, like the sailing ship in post 64 the SS SA Berlin one in

And yet they say that a rolling Stone gathers no Moss//albeit this particular rolling stone does gather tinnies
yes regarding #56 an astute observation indeed and a fair point to make. Originals of the Limburg SS/SA Badge of the same design are encountered in tin, yet the one you draw attention to the Berlin SA/SA is always encountered in tomac (Bronze/Brass) I have 2 examples of that particular Badge and will post close ups on a new thread within the next few days. Definitely a Badge worthy of further discussion.

#67, #68, #69, #70 SA Tag Der SA-Gruppe Nordsee in Bremen - 1936

Bronze, Silver, cupal and Gold versions

[Richard]

Nice tinnies all Martin. However I think on the last post both the first and last in the image are bronze in color. The picture doesn't seem to convey any gold color on the forth one pictured and I have never seen anything that indicates these were issued in gold.

Hello Richard, Thank you
yes I agree on the Picture the Badge appears to be Bronze but in hand it is definitely Gold I am quite certain, there are traces remaining of the Gold that are still evident. I will take another image in a diffent light mode to see if I can better illustrate the fact.

Very nice collection of SA tinnies Martin! Tinnies # 71 & 72 SA Brigade Appell 1933 for Dresden & Leipzig ... any idea how many variants of this badges there are ? I also have the same badge for Bautzen (3.12.1933)

Hello, yes to my knowledge there are three different Districts of this particular SA Badges with the same design with Bautzen version been the most uncommon

[Jean-Claude]

Thanks for the info Martin

The detail on my Bautzen doesnt look as "crisp" as your 2 specimens but that would sort of make sens if its the third & final batch produced from the same basic/generic die

Thanks again

Hello, the same desgin, albeit different dies used.
It may take me a while to the find where my example is but when I do I wil post a Picture to compare.
By the way I am curious to know does your Badge still retain the original circular (maker marked) pin plate if so I would rate your Badge as a very desirable S.A
Hang on to the badge ............. it's a Keeper

Hello Martin

Judging from the strike quality of mine (compared to yours) I taught they used the same basic die for the 3 variants and just changed the name and date sections (inserts?) but it may well be just a late strike (of a third die). I've attached a picture of the reverse. A bit fuzzy (like most of my pictures... red velvet & fuzzy have become somewhat of a signature/trademark for me ) back marked "Brehmer, Mark-Neukirchen" on the round pin plate.

Thanks for the compliment and the advice. I sold most of my collection in 1980 to cope with other priorities and have been kicking myself for doing that ever since I got back into the hobby a few years ago. No use crying over spilled milk but I'm not likely to make the same mistake again. I'm mostly into decorations, badges and insignia and only have a few tinnies but I intend to get more as some of the ones shown on the forum are really beautiful

Thanks for getting back to me

Hello, I would not be too discourged at selling part of your collection in the 1980's. As Badges still slip through the net, although I have to admit that I have noticed via ebay.com SA tinnies no longer slip through ebay Auctions unnoticed.
Yes with reference to your Badge that is a text Book pin plate, virtually the identical pin plate Brehmer used on their Flugtag badges/tinnies.
