Mike from Authentic Militaria sent me this photo a while ago, showing a HJ lad wearing the 9th November 1933 Festival badge, or Tinnie, for that event.

The tinnie is well documented in period literature for what it was, the Festabzeichen, or event badge, for the celebrations on that day. YET..... many dealers still somehow like to try and presuade younger collectors that it was NOT A TINNIE, and was in fact the "first Blood Order:pound:", an "Errinerungsabzeichen:pound:" or some other high-end award with it`s "purpose not clear:pound:" ANYTHING TO MAKE A BUCK :sad:
All total crap of course, and it was nothing more than your common, garden variety TINNIE, found in abundance and should be worth no more than €30-50.-.

Nice one Jo :thumb:

Here's a pic from my bag of photos showing a young chap wearing his "Blood Order". I'm assuming he got his for being a sperm in the ballsack of his SA father on the day:

More madness, from the Veteran`s Foot Locker:
Unofficial award to commemorate the Munich Putch in 1923. Bestowed by the Munich Gau in 1933. Was worn on the left breast. Never gained official status, and was soon replaced by the Blood Order.

Criminal that is... I know that you already know this Jo Rivett but for anyone who doesn't:
