      Mike,
      I have the same pin (I know the pic isn't necessary, but felt like playing with my new camera ).
      There is a similar one in Littlejohn's "The Hitler Youth", shown in the tinnie section, but it also has "Norderney 1934" on the top wing.
      I think they are very well made tinnies. I don't have the Angolia books on the HJ, maybe there is some more info there.
      Regards,
      Fred

            I'm only familiar with it from Hüsken (no 9280y), never seen one in hand...... Nice looking badge.

            Cheers

              Nice one, Mike!

              I had a look in Angolia, and the pin is described as 'participant's pin'. Presumably for participation in a flying event.

              All the best,
              Toby.

                  Hi Mike, I just joined the group. This tinnie is listed in Tieste's book , his number HJ 00-04. ,see Vol. # 1, page 320. He shows a value of 60 euroes. Multiply by approximately 1.3 to get the value in dollars. This gives you a rough idea of the value of the tinnie. Are you familar with the Tiesties books ? Hope this adds to your information.

                    Here is mine.
                    Unfortunatly i dont have a reverse pic at hand because i'm not on my own computer, (currently no internet )but if i remember correct the pin attachment device is quite different than the ones shown.
                    I also saw one of these on Weitze for €175
