Assorted Meeting/Event Tinnies & Others: Opinions Please

**aechols83** · 10-02-2011, 11:07 PM

Hello All,

I am trying to sort through a grouping of items with a friend and would like to get opinions on the attached pieces as they are out of my collecting field. I am particularly curious about #11, #15, #16, & #18. I apologize in advance that we don't have individual or reverse photos at the moment. Many thanks!

Best,
Adam

I tried to use my Tieste books to help you out, as a number of them are identifiable tinnies, however, #11 appears to start with VU, and I can't find any tinnie under V that matches this one. I'm not an expert but #15 could be a fantasy item? #16 appears to have SS on the side of the helmet, but again, there is no listing in Tieste under SS or Stahlhelm. #18 clearly says Danzig, but there is no Danzig tinnie like this in Tieste. Sorry!

The badge with the KDF Wagen (VW "Beetle") is widely faked so be wary of that, as I see two there.

Cheers, Ade.

Also, the EKII is missing the ribbon ring

you should make seperate pictures. So we can read the text and help you

Thanks for the responses and help, guys! I think there is a mix of good and some decidedly bad pieces in here. #11 is interesting to me as it is an Austro-Hungarian Sturmtrupp assault badge. I had one of these some time ago but it turned out to be a fake. If original, I think this would be a very scarce badge. I will try to get some better, individual photos. Thanks again!

Best,
Adam
