Just got these in. Some look to be less common but I am no tinnie expert and will be moving these along. Comments welcome.

Hello Harry, without a shadow of a doubt all the Badges are original examples. The NSKK and the SA tinnies been the most desirable of the ones pictured.
The Reichsparteitag example also stands out as judging from the picture the condition appears near mint ........... if this is the case that is also a very desirable Badge as the 1935 version of the Rally Badge are more often than not encountered with a very rusty worn finish

What is the one to the left of the Adel der Arbeit?? For the life of me I can't make that one out. It appears that one has some kind of finish on it?Comment

Yes Martin, the Reichsparteitag is near mint. Thanks for the input.
The one to the left of the Adel der Arbeit says Volksfest Der NSDAP 7.7.35 KR Main TaunusHCComment

Hello Harry, although over the years I have encountered quite a few of this particular Badge I have to admit that I have never seen one in such excellent condition.Originally posted by hcliffe View Post
Judging it by the sheer quality I am assuming that the Badge is maker marked Deschler u. Sohn' in München and if not perhaps a BALMBERGER, NBG or C Lauer example.

Hi Harry, some nice ones but nothing that will allow you to retire early. Is the one that is third from the left on the top row a KdF tinnie (one with what looks like grapes)? Price wise, if you look around, you can find most of these in the $35 or less range (most would be much less). The PL tab looks good but with the finish gone. Probably somewhere around the $100 mark or so.

Thanks Richard but I was hoping this was the motherload to early retirement.
Oh well, I guess I will keep looking.
The one you asked about says Saarpfalz, I hope that helps. I can post a pic if needed.HCComment

Hello Richard, well spotted ... it is Grapes on the design and is indeed a KDF Tinnie. Harry should be able to confirm that there is the KDF insgignia (Cogwheel & Swastika) to the centre of this particular Badge. I will try to dig out one of my examples.Originally posted by Richard View Post

Very nice tinnies!
The KDF did indeed like grapes (who doesn't?)...

Booze, yes. More specifically the KdF areas that feature grapes are all well known wine making, grape growing districts. If you look in Tieste there are also KdF tinnies for the Rhein, Mosel and Ahr + Nahe rivers (the last 2 being tributaries of the Rhein). So I assume they were all to commemorate KdF tours of wine districts.
