Another $20 Lesson

[wpheaton]

What is it about unknown items that draw you in? I am in Kyiv, Ukraine and was on St. Andrew's Descent browsing tables and came across this pin. Upon getting home and searching the web I have come to find out that it is call a "NSDAP Golden Party Award" pin and they are certainly not available for $20 which I paid. I knew when I was looking at it and the guy was going from $50 to $40 to $30 to $20 "Just for me." I was getting taken and yet I still bought it hoping beyond hope that maybe I scored a prize. Of course not knowing anything about NSDAP pins was a hinderance to start with, only buy what you know! Here are some pictures of my "Prize". Please go easy on me.

I know they are not the best pictures but it is the only camera I have with me.

Thanks. I had no idea what I was looking at on the street until I got to a computer to check. Impulse got the better of me.
