Mit Hitler in Coburg

**Erich S** · 01-06-2011, 09:21 PM

I'm in the posting mood today so I thought that I would post my Coburg collection. Some of the items I have posted in the art forum but I think they belong here as well. I hope you enjoy the photos!
A note, the poster and anniversary plate are one of a kind pieces.

If anyone else has a Coburg Badge or related item, please post it because I would love to see them!

interesting that Hitler is spelt with a small h?

**Erich S** · 01-07-2011, 09:05 PM

It was not unusual to see lower cased letters used. If you look at Himmlers calling cards, the H's in his name was always done in the lower case for example. Just the style of the time I guess.

Hello Erich

Wonderful to see and in my opinion, the importance, significance and rarity of "Coburg 1922" is not always realised.

Regards,

David

Thanks David, yes, the Coburg badge was held in the same esteem as the Blood Order but was MUCH more rare with only about 436 being awarded to Hitler's very earliest followers. Best, Erich

I just wanted to share my latest addition to my little grouping. This neat little badge was for the 10th anniversary of the March. Note that it was issued the same year as the Coburg Badge itself!

Hi Erich, a great addition to your themed collection.

Can you add any details about this badge? Not one I know much about.

Cheers, Ade.

Ade, I think this badge was awarded by the City of Coburg to the participants of the March before the NSDAP official award was implemented. Kinda like the Gau Munich badges relationship to the Blood Order.
