Moving this badge to this thread. This is the original post and link from some time ago. The Denmark DNSAP Parteiabzeichen.

DNSAP Party badge, a Beautiful and rare badge!

It's been a while since I posted a badge, my apologies, but some things are worth the wait. I will allow you to read through the attachments regarding the Party and its low member count. Besides my bagde, I've seen just one other over the last few years. Added are some gratuitous photos of the fine company this badge sits with well, they are among my favorites, anyways. And I'd like to give credit to the whomever is the owner of the photo of the DNSAP headquarters.

Here is another old foreign supporter of the NS that I posted. It belongs in this thread so here it is along with the original description and background.

NSNAP Dutch Nederlands scarce abzeichen

This is my favorite badge of all. It's striking to look at! And it's a MINTY, authentic badge! I've had it for over a year and thought I'd share it with you.

The NSNAP organization lasted less than a decade under its founder, Ernst Herman van Rappard. He was ousted and became an SS Waffen soldat who saw action in several country while in the 1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler. After this service he returned to the Nederlands and refused to join the NSB because the organization wasn't anti-Semitic enough to his likings. Sound like he was a real treat. Anyways, the NSNAP was absorbed into the NSB as were other factions of the NSNAP, including the NSNAP led by Major Kruyt. This leads me to the Kruyt-marked badges that are fake and look similar to this posted badge. My advice is to stay away from the Kruyt badge, they're all fake. Apparently there are authentic Kruyt badges and they are as scarce as this one, made by Wagner.

Folks, this is a rare badge. One source shows NSNAP membership at 13,000 and another at 16,000. This badge is much rarer than a GPB and a GPB has a much higher value, but much easier to find. Granted, the GPB is an awesome badge and my example is mint and is now researched (more on that later).

Hi all my second attempt after advice from Green, a little bit of a learning curve to be honest as I am used to drag and drop. So here are to badges I have and cannot for the life of me work out how the late war one attaches to a lapel, your opinions are very welcome. Thanks for looking. Dave.

**Greenhorn** · 09-17-2023, 05:10 AM

Thank you for posting your badges, Dave.

Better photos would really help with any questions you may have. M1/42, Kerbach & Israel, looks oblong but I think it's the poor photo angle and makes the badge look bent and oblong. There is a part missing off of the badge, that's why it cannot be fastened to a lapel. Post 1028, in the link below, is an example of what the reverse of the badge looks like with a complete attachment.

Hello all, so I've made another purchase and am after any information from Green on it. Many powler

**Greenhorn** · 09-23-2023, 03:49 AM

Hi Powler

Your pictured badge looks to be in very nice condition. Made by prolific maker, Karl Wurster. This badge is clearly a button-hole or lapel badge and will have been made between 1936-1941.

Here is a link to one just like yours

Green, thanks for all the info! Just yesterday I've made another purchase. Feel I've got an addiction growing. Cheers,

**Greenhorn** · 09-30-2023, 03:18 AM

LOL, I know this addiction! I had it three times in the last few weeks. I'll try to get some photos in after this weekend and post one up.

Your Gustav Brehmer is in gorgeous condition, Powler! It's a final pattern 1936-41/2 made badge. There are earlier RZM era badges from this maker also, with a different font.

Your photos are quite nice and sharp, may I ask what you used to take the photos?
