Gauleiter Hans Schemm Tinnie..........

I had no idea who this was, or even what it related to when I bought
it, but after a web search, found that he was once the Gauleiter of
Bavaria. This is a memorial pin, as he died as a result of a plane
crash in 1935. The legend reads: "Hold true to one another".

Similar pins have only his name and the date, and are made with
different materials and finishes. It is very nicely executed of
die stamped bronze with great patina, and has a plain
reverse with wire pin..........

Five or six years ago at a distant, now closed and deserted 'Antique Mall'................
There weren't any swastikas on it, like all the other fake items in the booth, so, $10.

!

I only have a few tinnies, all documented on other threads by owners other than myself.
Seefahrt Ist Not, Tag Der Arbeit, Helft im VDA, all rather common...............
