I was recently viewing one of these.. Very interesting.. One of the known makers is FR. Klett as shown and they were made in gold and silver in color, there was also a women's version. These were instituted in 1933 by the Gauleiter of Gau Baden Robert Wagner to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the NSDAP in Gau Baden, the gold version was for members who joined from 1923-25 and the silver from 1926 until 27 of October 1929. I don't see anything bad about this specimen bar the black coloring inside the lettering is lost to time, but little is known of these and when I was doing research little was found. Hopefully the link will help or others that have one will add to the thread. I also have the PDF version of the link I can send if need be.. G

Yes, there was one at auction, I missed out on it though.. My first love is the RAD and my favorite GAU is Baden, XXVII

FYI, if you can get it authenticated it may be worth a bit, here is a RARE women's version.. G

The cut to the wing feathers and the heart shaped body of the OP looks very different from the originals shown.

I am a member of several militaria forums and just by chance came across this in an old post. It seems to be a variant presumably to commemorate the Putsch of 23'...

thats an awesome piece of history G seeing that in the photo.

One could say as desirable as the Blood Order Award in regards to collecting of the very early movement.
