Humble Collection (Parteiabzeichen)

[Vulcan]

Hello to all, my first post and thread. I've been a long time looker rather than a talker whilst I was learning the ropes so to speak.

I am a new collector, but I have been interested in TR Medals and Badges for some years now but I haven't bought anything until this year when it became clear it wasn't going to put my partner off me!

I have found a fascination and appreciation of the Parteiabzeichen; here is my humble collection.







Hopefully it will grow in future but I am on a tight budget 😀

Thank you for looking.

That's the trick! I'm glad it didn't put her off! And glad that you're finally able to start pursuing the hobby. And a nice little start you have there. Looking forward to seeing more updates.

Thanks Adam, it was quite funny in the end, she spotted a Gold Mothers Cross whilst we were looking in an antiques shop and said it was pretty, so it all happened quite easily from there. But I was very conscious of her opinion before that happened.

Thanks I will put up a picture of the Gold Cross soon.

LOL - that's a great story!

What is the black piece you use to support/display? It looks ingenious.

Thank you Eric!

I designed it myself and is a purpose made stand for my badges. It's 3D printed.

Glad you like them, I designed one for both the Lapel badge and one for the regular pin back badges.

Brilliant mate!
You could sell those.
Granted it's a niche market but maybe branch out a bit. Who knows?

I just wanted something to display my badges nicely. I'm a design engineer by day so I thought I'd have a go.

I plan to print more for the future but I guess if there was enough interest then I could easily get extras done.

Beautiful collection so far my friend! I agree with the lads, you could certainly sell those holders! It warms my heart to see new collectors enjoy this hobby! Welcome and keep it up!

Thank you for your kind words!

I shall look into the feasibility of making a batch of the holders and see if I can get them to a reasonable cost.

Looking good!

Thank you, I happen to think they are quite a pretty little badge, especially if you get them glinting in some nice sunshine. (Not that we have much at the moment!)
