Product Description: This NSDAP party pin is a top quality, prewar production piece, with great eye appeal. The obverse shows beautiful, glossy enamelwork that is free of chips or cracks. This membership badge appears to have been lightly worn, with some fine surface scratches, but no damage. The metal is a brass alloy that still retains much of the original silvering on the front. The reverse of this NSDAP party pin still has nearly all of the original silver finish, with uncleaned patina and some scattered marks. It’s marked with the round RZM logo of the Reichszeugmeisterei, as well as the maker code “M1/34” indicating manufacture by the firm of Karl Wurster in Markneukirchen. The attachment pin is formed of round wire, and remains complete and functional, with light wear from honest period use. The pin is held in place with a soldered plate that shows no repairs. This all-original membership badge is a great representative example. The condition rates as excellent plus.

 

 

 

Historical Description: Adolf Hitler was an army veteran in 1919. Frustrated by Germany’s defeat in World War I, he joined a new political organization called the German Workers’ Party. The organization was founded earlier that same year and promoted German nationalism. Members of this organization felt that the Treaty of Versailles was extremely unjust to Germany, by burdening it with reparations it could never pay. Hitler became the leader of this party in 1921 and changed the name to The National Socialist German Workers’ Party; Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP). In 1933, Hitler became chancellor of Germany and his Nazi government soon assumed dictatorial powers. After Germany’s defeat in World War II the Nazi party was outlawed.
