No more than...

the tinnie itself suggests. A celebration of the 10th return to Berlin of the Party Days (or something like that... '10 jaerhige' is literally "10-year-old"). The presence of the SS and SA runes is interesting.

5th Anniversary Association pin

I wanted to drop in and say that I am enjoying this thread very much. Also (and this is a first "public" mention) the Association is getting a 5th anniversary/lifetime membership pin which is based on a pin in this thread.

Ballistic thread

And some folks thought "tinnies" wouldn't work out in the forum...

Just warming up.

Have we had this one yet? Couldn't find it in the previous posts so here it is (about the size of a penny):

Here are a couple of...
