collecting information about HJ Kreissieger/Gausieger

[Willietaria]

Hi there,

I'm collecting information about the HJ Kreissieger and HJ Gausieger.
This information will be shared with everyone who needs it.

I'm searching

* All makers (Already found Brehmer/Tham/Aurich/Wagner. Is this small list complete?)
* All years (There are years some makers didn't produce some badges, but I don't know what year and what maker.)
* Common fakes
* ...

Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance!

I found for the Kreissiegers:
* Brehmer only 1938
* Tham only 1939
* Aurich only 1939
* Wagner only 1939

For the Gausiegers:
* Brehmer 1938, 1939 and 1944
* Tham /
* Aurich /
* Wagner /

Is this correct?

[HPL2008]

Yes. As far as I know, the manufacturers were:

Kreissieger:
1938 - Brehmer
1939 - Aurich, Tham, Wagner
1944 - not awarded

Gausieger:
1938, 1939 and 1944 - Brehmer

Reichssieger:
1938, 1939 and 1944 - Brehmer

Super! Thanks!

If I remember correctly, there is a member on WAF that has written a book on these awards. He was selling it on the WAF eStand a few months back.

WAF forum appears to be down now, otherwise I would have looked and posted the sales link if it was still there.

Edit: I just noticed that Andreas posted a link for a book as well. Not sure it is the same but probably it is

Found the ad on the eStand at WAF. You can buy directly from the author. Same book.
