Any Ideas?

Hello everyone,

I received this in a lot of German tinnies. I am pretty certain it is not German...perhaps Italian?

Anyone recognize it?

Cheers,

Chrys, what is that item on the shield?

I believe this may be a Turnerbund-Tinnie...

Looks like the Augsburg coat of arms on the shield.

Hey guys,

Tom~

Here is a closer look at the emblem on the chest...still not too sure.

I suppose it could be Turnerbund considering there were a lot of Turnerbund pieces in this collection I bought. I would expect to see the "4 F's" logo though. I know not all Turnerbund pieces have that logo though. This gives me some direction to investigate though...so I appreciate it.

Cheers all,
Chrys

That was my thought too Glenn, but could find nothing to substantiate the assumption.

I'm looking at the symbol beneath the shield...There's a similarity to the stylized "TB", in my opinion...Speculating of course...

On second thought, this may be a badge for an Eil-Bote (EB)--a messenger service...Looking at the lightning bolts...
cheers, Glenn

It is indeed the Augsburg Coat of Arms...well done, that gives us something to go on...
