Hi Horst, that's a really good looking badge you have there. I've always thought this was a simple, superbly designed and striking badge. There have been some replica ones posted lately, which in my humble opinion were pretty convincing repros. There is certain to be many more repros of this highly valued badge to appear. Can't you identify who was presented this badge by the number on the back? I vaguely remember reading that some of the records survived the war, mainly the records they used to track down the higher level party members for the war trials. Thank you for sharing, I need all the lessons I can get.

Jay - Researched the GPB but was told all records are not complete and they couldnt find the particular recipient of this one. They will notify me if and when it does.

Actually there were 20,487 awarded to men and 1,795 to women, total 22,282. The number on the back of these badges is the individuals party number not subsequent badge number.

Well, I'm hoping someday you get a name Horst, that would be exciting. Please update us if you hear anything. Thanks for the link Goose.

Take care,
