Here's a nice early Ges Gesch badge.

Fantastic "oblong" background pattern, nice clear enamel and a quirky transitional font. Lovely obverse with nice telltale signs of actual wear but still with lots of silver wash on there, nice big pinplate... all in all a lovely badge! Hope you like!

A nice early badge, Slados! Not too many of these around. Good pick-up.

My first four party badges arrived today, a good reason to party, if I hadn`t spent all my money on the badges.. Hope you like them

Like I said before, nice ones! I especially like the Ges Gesch!

I wonder if there is a RZM under the tin there..

Nice Party badges, especially your Ges Gesch badge. I like how the lettering nearly touches the inner and out rings without much enamel in between. It makes for a good look.

Congrats!

There will be no RZM under the tinning, it's much too early of a badge to have any RZM markings. At best, it could be a Transitional period badge with a number and RZM logo but changes are against it.

Hi all new to the site!! I picked these up from one of the WWII militaria dealers are the Nations Gun Show near Dulles VA, I'd pick something up from him several times wound badge, war merit cross, 2nd class iron cross, etc). I'm pretty sure the tin type with RZM M1/17 on the back (sorry picture is not so great) is real, but not so sure of the Hitler, Ludendorff, v GRAFE with RZM M1/129. It must be an early pin cuz Hitler had a major failing out with both after the his stint in Landsberg.



Let me know what you think.
