Festabzeichen für den 9 November in München - "UND IHR HABT DOCH GESIEGT"

[David North]

There is now strong evidence from a documented and shown article from the Völkischer Beobachter that this badge is no more than a commemorative (10th anniversary) event pin. No more and no less and despite the past and still continuing hyperbole that surrounds this little and aesthetically pleasing badge. Perhaps anything which declares "UND IHR HABT DOCH GESIEGT" is capable of artificial status elevation. The badge however remains a little enigmatic by the presence of "jewellers" examples and period photographs of persons wearing the badge as almost of an award of some sort.

Attached are images of the two most common types and which are different in fine detail design.

Regards,

David
