Women’s League Staff Member’s Badge

Product Description: This Women’s League Staff Member’s Badge is a colorful and appealing piece. It was worn by members of the “Nationalsozialistische Frauenschaft,” the National Socialist Women’s League. It is made from silvered bronze, with beautiful enamel. The badge only shows light contact marks and traces of wear, and measures 28.8 mm x 30.4 mm. The original finish is nearly completely intact, with slight age toning, and the enamel shows no cracks or chips. The Frauenschaft organizational emblem on this badge is surrounded by a border of vibrant blue enamel, indicating this piece was intended for wear by a staff member. On the reverse, this Women’s League Staff Member’s Badge is complete with the original horizontal pin, affixed with a soldered plate. It’s marked with the round RZM emblem of the Reichszeugmeisterei, as well as the maker code M1/72 indicating manufacture by the firm of Fritz Zimmermann in Stuttgart. This is a really nice example overall, in better than very fine condition.

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.
