Nazi Party Plaque - Identification Help
Has anyone seen one of these plaques before? I am having a bit of trouble identifying it as it seems to have no markings on the plaque or the case. For all I know it is a fake, I just don`t know.
The plaque reads "das höchste gut des mannes ist sein volk"
Thanks in advanced!
First for me but possibly a "Stahlhelm" item.

The mans highest good is his people. Felix Dahn 1834-1912 German law professor.. His saying is actually much longer.. Hope it is a start for you..G
Pardon my ignorance, what is a "Stahlhelm" item?by Horst
Stahlhelm or Steel Helmet was a right wing nationalist group of German ex-military members founded in 1918, after the Nazis came to power this group was absorbed by the SA/SS- it was officially dissolved in 1935.

I agree with Horst, as a bit of searching turned up the same saying on WWI Veteran's Memorials in Goldenstein-now Branna in CzechRepublic, and in the German town of Siegen as well...

It almost looks as if the swastika was added at a later date, it's not a particularly good fit covering the script really is it???
But if that's the case it beggars the question when was this done, in period or post war???

I would go for a post 1935 date.
