Major General Bil4338 Posted May 5, 2016 Major General Share Posted May 5, 2016 Xouldnt find the original thread, so here will do! I got these sent to me by my good friend Mannie Gentile, of Boonboro, Maryland, USA. These were brought back by Clarence Maynard 'Chappie' Chapman, of the 75th Infantry Division, from Sparta, Michigan.Mr. Chapman first went into action on Christmas Eve 1944 in the Ardennes forest.we can only speculate on the events he experienced, and what he went through, and here I am with some of the fruits of his endeavours, which will be eagerly and respectfully looked after. thanks to Mannie, Mr. And Mrs Chapman. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Rat Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hello Bil, What do you think of these (if that's what you mean by tinnies?) x3 badges dating - 1934/1935/1936...x2 Ally and x1 copper. All original with pins and makers marks on the two Ally ones. What do you think they are worth as I paid £50 + post from Germany some years ago? Thanks Desert Rat/ Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Auld Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Nice buttons, I found a lot of tinnies in the attic of the house/business we bought here in Bergen last year. As well as the family photos and the old boys EK and wound badge certificates. The avitar picture is him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Rat Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Bloody right Bil, Fantastic collection of items you have found, they will look great in your collection. I am sure there were millions of every item produced by the 3rd Reich....but getteing rarer to find and more expensive......Keep them! Best to you......Desert Rat/ Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
