Reverse....
Note the maker on this one. This is the only piece I have by this manufacturer.
This probably should have gone in the Imperial area but I just couldn't resist
placing it here.

NO John you placed it in the right forum other wise I may have missed seeing it. As I do love these Turnerbund tinnies.

Don't think this is as old as the date says--1818 LOL--came with some WHW itmes. In fact I don't think it is all that old period but have ask a few freinds and they said post it and find out. So if you have a clue or a thought--please feel free to add your two cents! Thanks, Mike

James,I've got to agree with you about the Turnerbund tinnies,they all seem to have great designs.I have this one from Innsbruck 1930 on its way to me now,looks really nice.I will post some better pics when it arrives.The best thing about it though was the price .........6 Euro's

[James Noble]

Another quality badge just 6 Euro's you lucky dog.

okay--two of my favorites!

Well--these next two tinnies may not Thrid Reich tinnies--But--these are my favorites in my collection of pre WWII tinnies, badges and stickpins! Mike

Mike ,
I like these 2 pré-nazi badges very much; specially the first one 1930 with the Helmet,Rhein and sword , because it's a so simple scene, but it says much; it is the sphere.A friend said about tinnies;
"Auch wenn sie nicht besonders wertvoll sind - wer immer das auch entscheidet - haben sie magie. und darum geht es doch beim sammeln. es ist alles nur metall, den wert bekommt es nur im kopf."
Short translated "it's just metal, but the value is in your mind"
Thanks for sharing these special tinnies!!
