Sailorjerry: reasearch the Austrian Nazis and the Hitlerbewegung 1927-1933 as this badge is from that era.

Nice original badge.

M1/8 Ferdinand Wagner lapel Party badge'

Of note for this badge maker is the notch in the lapel attachment. Instead of the usual trapezoid shape, there is a notch at the bottom of the trapezoid.

This maker obviously took pride in craftsmanship, this badge is very well made with perfect lines bordering the swas.

I think the Heim Ins Reich badges were rahter propaganda badges for the Volksdeustche Bewegung in Luxembourg, Greenhorn. As far as I know they had nothing to do with Austria.
