Nsdap membership badge---thoughts & opinions

Your thoughts on these two.....

[Eric Zentner]

I have never seen a good one with this style of pin plate. Its known as a coffin style plate due to the shape of the plate its used on a ton of REPROs.

There is a segment of the community that believes these badge types were ended before the RZM was established and therefore none of these badges should bear an RZM stamp. I seriously disagree with this point of view as I believe these badge types were continued into the RZM years, generally as commemorative issues. But the coffin plate is a (DEAD) give away.

Good RZM examples on The Collector's Guild Under party member badges.

These are fakes through and through. Coffin pin plate is the easy give away, but the RZM is another, as mentioned by Eric.
The accepted versions of these badges do not have the "1933" at the bottom.

A pleasure. The author of the site has been studying and researching T.R enamel badges for years.

These M1/129 fakes have the tell tale McDonalds style 'M' not seen on originals.
