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,

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?

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.Comment

Thanks Pete, I learned something new!Originally posted by Wood View Post
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, 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.
