      Hi Mike:

      The badge you've posted, is a cast copy of an event badge for a Gau-day event in Vienna. Here is a struck, hollow-back original for comparison. Note the rivets in the field, and the difference in sharpness overall:



      Kind Regards,

      Andre

        I agree with GiuseppeC. This is a beautiful badge which I've never seen before. Thanks for sharing it with us, GiuseppeC!

            Glad I could help, gentlemen!

            If I get a little free time this weekend, I'll post some clearer macro photos for you - this is a beautifully-detailed badge, but the patina, and my camera skills are hiding some of it.

              Was this piece the one in which a cut out eagle was then later made into a pin?

                Hi Mil:

                I suppose it's possible, but that's a new one to me - As a tinnie, I can't see the practicality of using the eagle by itself (as a pin); judging by the wings, it would get bent the second the wearer bumped it against anything else, unless it had a backing to give it some stability. I'm just guessing here, but I think if anyone here had an original example of one configured this way, it'd probably be Chris Lee.

                    Thanks Pete, I learned something new!

                    Has anyone ever seen the cutout remnant of the tinnie?

                    (As an aside, back in the late 1800's, jewelry made out of cutout coins was fashionable for a while, and naturally plenty of cutout badges exist, but I never knew this had happened in tinnies.)

                    Best,

                    Andre

                      Andre, they didn't cut the eagle from the badge but probably took a mould from it.
                      It has been contentiously discussed on this forum but I can't find the relevant post/posts.
                      Regards,
                      Pete
