NSDAP RDK Membership Badge – F.K.O.

Product Description: An NSDAP RDK Membership Badge – F.K.O., executed in tombak and retaining traces of its original silvered finish, offered in very good condition. The obverse displays the characteristic enameled design associated with the Reichsbund der Kinderreichen (Reich Union of Large Families), the enamel surface remaining intact with only minor scratching and wear consistent with age and careful use. Much of the original silvering has worn, revealing the underlying tombak base, lending the piece a nuanced patina.

The reverse is stamped “F.K.O.” and similarly preserves remnants of its original silver finish. It is fitted with a round wire pinback, which remains fully functional. Unaltered and well-preserved, this NSDAP RDK Membership Badge – F.K.O. represents a fine example of period craftsmanship, with honest wear that enhances its historical character.

Historical Description: The Third Reich was a time of vast expansion for German military, paramilitary, civil and political organizations. The regime created distinctive regalia for all of these various formations, including a wide array of membership pins and badges to be worn by those who belonged to these organizations. These membership pins could be worn on uniforms or on civilian clothing, and existed in countless forms, from simple stick pins to beautiful and elaborate enameled badges made by jewelers using precious materials. Some of these membership pins were generic, and could be worn by any member of a specific organization, while others displayed distinctions such as rank or position, or recognized long service to a particular group. The membership pins of the various WWII and prewar German organizations often featured the national swastika emblem, and were eagerly sought out by souvenir-hunting Allied soldiers. Some of these pins were made in the millions, while others were made in extremely small numbers and are rare today; all of them are collectible.
