Need help with Reichsverband badge!

[cjclick]

I just recently picked this one up and have not been able to find another one for reference. It's marked "800" on both pieces and made by "H. Timm" Berlin. I'm only making the assumption that it's on the rare side due to the materials used to make it. Any info on this piece would be much appreciated.

Hi,


I'v never seen another too but i like it a lot. Perhaps not the most exciting item, but for those who like this (like me!) it's a very nice item. Is there anything on the case? The second photo shows the badge on the case, but perhaps there is a print of any kind under it?

Timm is a well known maker too (who made from memory as only maker the Kyffhauser crosses).


best regards,
Gaston

I like this piece, too -- appears to be of solid .800 silver -- and, as Gaston said, I've never seen another one myself.

Congratulations on a striking piece.

Sorry for the delayed response, just arrived back from Dallas. I took some pics of the box itself. I would have expected to see some sort of markings, but only what papers to be a number written underneath the inner area. Appears to be "8?" In pencil. The inner fabric has a firm impression of the piece and the glue in the underneath is way aged and crackled. There is an old spring-style locking mechanism. This proves nothing, but it's relatively the same age as the piece. It's not my best piece, but I'm a sucker for smalls. It's definitely in my top 10 now. I love items that I can't find anything on. Mystery in progress.

Anyone else have a clue on this one?
