Tinnie help please.

[D. Ricks]

I just picked up a bunch of WW1 and WW2 German items, maps, postcards etc. These were in there and I can't find them on the net. Any help would be appreciated.

Tinnies

"Rotfront" translates to : "Red Front". They were the commies who were fighting the Nazis in the streets. Probably pretty rare.

The two red front are great, and harder to find, but they were just one of the many political parties struggling for power in Germany at this time. (along with the NSDAP)
The other looks like a cap/helmet? badge of some sort (Swiss?? or a red cross organisation?)

Thank you very much for your help.

I concur with the other members on the Rot Front. This was the communist faction in Germany at the time and these aren't too easy to find. The other I'm not sure of. I think it is pictured upside down but based on the crown, it almost seems to be imperial in age.

D. Ricks and I are trying to work a deal on these tinnies but are not having any luck finding something similar online on which to base a fair price. Neither of us wants the other to be a part of a one sided deal. I thought I would see if any members could be helpful in pointing us to any items such as these that might have recently sold or be for sale so we can establish a price that would be fair to both of us.

In lieu of this, if there are members out there that have any experience with these types of tinnies, any input as to value would be greatly appreciated and help both of us in reaching a price satisfactory to both parties. Thanks for any help.

I am loath to help as I would have liked to buy them as well, but try ebay.de search the dates etc.
