Original Items: Only One Set Available. This is a very nice collection of German WWII and Post War Tinnies and Stick pins, which was brought back from the European theater by a USGI after the war was concluded. Tinnies were small badges given out at various events historically in Germany, but during the NSDAP period they were produced in numbers and varieties never seen before in an effort to create national solidarity behind the NSDAP. The same was true for stick pins, which were made for any and all of the NSDAP controlled groups in Germany. After WWII, this continued somewhat, and De-NSDAPified versions of the awards were created.
This lovely set includes:
– One German 1934 TAG DER ARBEIT (Labor Day) Tinnie. Stamped brass and maker marked REICHSVERBAND PFORZHEIM on the back.
– FIVE German 1935 TAG DER ARBEIT (Labor Day) Tinnies. Four are maker marked on the back (different makers) and one is unmarked.
