Gents,

Not an item I know much if anything about.

Anythoughts on this?

Thanks in advance

We also buy and trade your items and full collections!

It looks perfectly fine to me. I studied them a while ago as I was planning on buying one but never did in the end. There's plenty of information about these in this page:

Golden Party Badge of the NSDAP

I hope that helps!
Regards,
MG.

Thanks. I'll take a look. Didn't see that site before.

What do we look for in these?

I don't collect badges or awards Michael, but I would go by words Big Ned once told me ..... "quality, quality, quality"

TR makers were of a generation that had PRIDE in their work. ALL fakes fall short of the mark ...... a sound start to any assessment I feel.

Thanks Dan. Actually this isn't for me but a friend who is interested in it

I agree... QUALITY is the word.

I agree... QUALITY is the word.

Even the "throwaway" winterhilfswerk donation badges are quality items ...... man, we have lost so many skills in the decades since!!

Very nice and minty GPB.

**Brother James** · 06-28-2020, 03:02 PM

I agree: This appears to be a genuine large Deschler GPB with a military pin setup -- the highly-sought-after variety -- intended for uniform wear. I'm sorry to say that NSDAP Membership Number 82971 is not ID'd on my list at this time. If you do locate the name of the original recipient of this badge, please share it with us.

Stay safe,

Br. James

Jamie Cross @ Third Reich Medals does a great tutorial on these on his website. He also has a register of names and party badge numbers you could check also. Not liking the vent hole or pin tbh...Deschlers tapered slighly towards the end of the pin...this example looks squared from top till bottom and looks modern and poor quality. Images copyrighted or I would post you his example for comparison but go to his site for examples of genuine and common fakes and you will see the difference. PM me and I will send you a pic if you cant find it. Great quality though so I would double double check to be sure.
