1928 Germany Artillery Tinnie 1923 Frankfurt a/M Schwerer Artilleristentag Pin
Original German Interwar Militaría – 1928 Frankfurt Heavy Artillery Convention Badge. This is a national gathering badge for a German heavy artillery veterans / tradition community in the late 1920s. Why the “1923” matters. Many interwar veterans’ groups used a founding year prominently in their iconography. There is collector-market evidence of a heavy-artillery “ring” using 1923 in the organization name and insignia style example: “Waffenring der Deutschen Schweren Artillerie 1923″ type material. This badge’s 1923 flaming grenade motif strongly fits that pattern. Type: German Teilnehmerabzeichen / tinnie for an artillery veterans convention. Design: Shield badge with flaming artillery grenade and oak leaves; grenade dated “1923”. Maker marked (reverse): “FÜHCKES BERLINISCHHAUS / LÜDENSCHEID”. 1 3/8″ x 1″ (about 35 x 25 mm). Condition: Excellent overall detail -lettering and emblem are crisp. Uniform age toning/patina (nice collector look). Normal surface rub to high points consistent with honest age. Pin/hinge/catch present (major value factor for these). No obvious cracks or major bends visible in the photos. Collector Notes: These interwar “Artilleristentag” pieces were produced for organized reunions/conventions and are sought after by collectors of Weimar Republic, German artillery, and veterans association insignia.
