Title Liberation of the Saarland 'tinnie'
Nationality German
Period 1934
Price £25.00

This commemorates the moment when Adolf Hitler ordered his troops to occupy the Saarland, hitherto under French control. The French army offered no resistance and, to compound matters, meekly packed up and left, offering the Reich its first bloodless victory!

4cm across, it is a piece of die-struck tin. The original wash may have been a gilt finish, which has worn off. There is a little minor surface rust to the back of the badge, with the odd crease to the front.

A quick note to let you know I received the two painted truncheons today and both arrived in good nick!

I'm very pleased with them and they will be a nice addition to my collection!

I should have written sooner, but I did want to let you know that the photos arrived safely and are absolutely fabulous. I could not be happier with them.

Thanks for the excellent service and great photos. I hope we have occasion to do business together again.
