Description
Product Description: This small NSDAP Party Badge is a very rare and extremely desirable membership pin. This is the small 19mm size, never produced in large numbers and very seldom seen. It likely dates from very early in the RZM period, circa 1935. This attractive pin is made of a brass alloy, Tombak. The obverse surface has a typical high quality enameled finish. The black swastika and white roundel are pristine. The beautiful translucent red enamel has one very, very small chip between the “O” and the “N” of the word “National.” Some traces of the original silvering are still visible on the metalwork. On the reverse, the original silvering is intact, with an old patina. It is marked with the round RZM logo as well as the number “34” indication manufacture by the firm of Karl Wurster in Markneukirchen. The original attachment pin assembly is intact and functional with no damage or repairs to note. This small NSDAP Party Badge is a great piece that would be very hard to upgrade. The condition rates as excellent plus.
Historical Description: Adolf Hitler was an army veteran in 1919. Frustrated by Germany’s defeat in World War I, he joined a new political organization called the German Workers’ Party. The organization was founded earlier that same year and promoted German nationalism. Members of this organization felt that the Treaty of Versailles was extremely unjust to Germany, by burdening it with reparations it could never pay. Hitler became the leader of this party in 1921 and changed the name to The National Socialist German Workers’ Party; Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP). In 1933, Hitler became chancellor of Germany and his Nazi government soon assumed dictatorial powers. After Germany’s defeat in World War II the Nazi party was outlawed.
