Cool photo , it looks to be worn be a BDM member .
The tinnie appears to be DLV related . I have a simular one in my collection , however; not exactly the same pattern .
 
- appears to be "Erste N.S. Flugwoche Fürth i∕B. Pfingsten 1933" (see photo) - alongside RPT 1933

Thank you ianmor.

The photo is a BDM wearing the two tinnies.

No doubt, it is the Flugwoche tinnie.

I live in the town of Fürth, the airfield is just 10 minutes from here.
It was for some time the 8th largest international airport in Germany in the 1920s.
My son went to Kindergarten on the actual ground of the former Flugplatz.
It had been a military airfield since WWI and was again after 1933 until the US forces left Fürth 20 years ago.
Some of the big WWI/WWII hangars and some other military buildings are still around.
A courious place if you know a bit abbout the history there.
Thanks for the Pics!
