Nürburgring Badges . . .

[typ901]

I thought my '27 piece was the GP, but was this one instead.

detail from a magazine about the 1950 event. this clarifies the intent for the small version of the badge.

Just arrived today. Damaged item, restored, so colors and finishes may be a bit off . . . $300

I know of only Donner (and ges.gesch) badges in this size. (--- until I saw post #46 below)

Check-out the mounting tabs --- compare to the other 'small' badges in posts #12, #21, and #33


(Really bitchin' little bit . . . )

this style 'Donner' maker mark is the same as on the '65 F.I.M. piece.

Sure enough. Left mountain, too.

Any ideas about when Biedermann&Co made these? And did they make the larger size, as well?

Just got an e-mail from Donner, in Wuppertal . . . .

Dear Rick,

Thanks for your letter from 21.July 2011. This medal is from our factory, but . . . is very old and I (can't) answer your questions, (as) we have (no) documents . . . and (no one) here in our factory (who) can answer . . . It must be a medal from the 70 or 60 year perhaps, we don´t know.

Sorry that we (can't) help you.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards

Not exactly the definitive response I was hoping for. I'm guessing that anything that took place way back then is either archived in some analog sh!t-pile, walking/stumbling around in someone's head . . .

. . . Or gone.


Just a badge . . .
